Here are some reactions:
«It was great, very simple but with explanations they will use every day. You took examples of their daily lives, making the presentation personal and pleasant. I liked the fact the children left with the definition of biodiversity, because they hear about it every day without really knowing what it is. They were interactive, I’m quite satisfied».
Alice Lacroix, coordinator at Aselqo
«I liked it because I discovered fruits I eat and I didn’t know their names. I don’t think it was too complicated, because you transmitted the ideas with simple words the children use and understand. The games are nice, they guarantee the children don’t get bored or lose their concentration».
Elodie, helper for the Aselqo group
Some reactions from the children:
"It was super-great. We learnt things, next time we see a mark, we’ll know what it is. I understood everything, I can even make my herbarium more easily now"

The Herboretum is a true garden of preserved and shared biodiversity; it commits to preserving the local biodiversity of species and their habitats.
Through educational workshops, The Herboretum reveals the wealth of biodiversity and helps make children aware of the importance of preserving it in a sustainable development perspective.
Through a participative, active and scientific approach combining observation, manipulation and reflection, pupils look at biodiversity under a new angle.
During the Sustainable Development Days in Saint-Ay, it was The Herboretum’s pleasure to welcome a group of 50 children on Friday 9th April 2010. At the very heart of biodiversity, the children discovered biodiveristy in a guided visit by qualified and experienced hosts.
During the Sustainable Development Days in Orléans from 25th May to 6th June 2010, The Herboretum offered young Orlean pupils workshops to discover biodiversity.
