The offer is used annually by many thousands of teachers, educators, pupils and students to learn at the Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum and to implement topics of the curriculum.
The pupils come into contact with the diverse plant world and recognize the connections between plants, the environment, global development and their everyday life.
