Wide of a crowd of children in the garden \u003cbr/\u003e37. Three black and white photos from 1976 showing the garden (source : School) \u003cbr/\u003eA garden on  the Croatian coast has been turned into a horticultural Eden by generations of children who have attended a local primary school. \u003cbr/\u003eWhat was once a neglected wasteland has been transformed into one of the richest Mediterranean gardens in the region. \u003cbr/\u003eThousands of lush tropical plants thrive in the warm climate and the care of hundreds of children who have tended them over the years. \u003cbr/\u003eThis lush botanical garden on the Croatian coast is not run by a team of experienced gardeners, but a group of school children. \u003cbr/\u003eThe garden which boasts 1,400 different plant species from across the world on its four hectare plot is the located in the Kastel Luksic on the east side of the Adriatic Sea coast.\u003cbr/\u003eThe richest part of the school botanical garden is its South Park. \u003cbr/\u003eThanks to mild microclimate it is full of rare local and exotic trees, bushes, permanent and seasonal flowers including camphor, eucalyptus, jakarande, tropical bauhinia, cacao, collection of citruses, all kinds of palms, acacias, gardenias, camelias... conifers from American sequoia and Himalayan cedar to Andalusian pine and Australian casuarin.\u003cbr/\u003eGlasshouses are nurseries for seedlings are scattered around the central part of the garden, amongst the school sports fields and playgrounds.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe North Park is reserved to local industry plants and serves as a practical start for the economic education through traditional methods of agriculture.\u003cbr/\u003eThe idea of the garden was conceived in 1976 when the school moved to a new building teachers, pupils and staff wanted to clean and improve their neglected surroundings. \u003cbr/\u003eAnd they have never stopped since and over the years the garden has become a symbol of environmental good practice in Croatia.\u003cbr/\u003eLeda Tomaz is the school's biology teacher and chief gardener. \u003cbr/\u003eShe says that a garden is like \"a home - you have to take care of it, maintain and renew it when needed.\" \u003cbr/\u003eThe school also has a cooperative named 'Olive', after a grove of olive trees which were first planted in 1983. \u003cbr/\u003eThey now have 175 trees, producing 42 varieties of oil and table olives, the species originate from across the Mediterranean region. \u003cbr/\u003eThe students produce a variety of products: olive oil, jams, drinks and  aromatic herbs.  \u003cbr/\u003eEverybody has a special group of interest: flowers, olives, medical plants, ecology. \u003cbr/\u003eThe pupils are assigned jobs in the garden according to a general plan on a weekly basis. \u003cbr/\u003eOf course, their gardening chores must not interfere with a regular school programme. \u003cbr/\u003eThe garden often has visitors, pupils from other schools, but also biology experts and simple nature lovers. \u003cbr/\u003eThe school often organises lectures, presentations, workshops and other educational events. \u003cbr/\u003eThe founder of the garden Ivna Bucan says that some day when these children will be in position to make important financial decisions, their experiences in this garden will guide them and help them to consider the environmental impact of their decisions.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
