An abecedary of plants in our garden presents plants interesting to touch and/or smell, with particular attention to plants characteristic of our area and climate, and plants easy to find in our everyday environment. Plants are labeled in roman (normal) and braille letters, a handrail and a foot marker allow visually disabled persons to discover autonomously the abecedary.
Objectives
The use of the alphabetical order simplify the job to learn the names and is appreciated by children and teachers.
(but it can create complications because it can requite to put side by side a plant demanding plenty of water and one demanding very few)
The realization can make the object of a cooperation with one or many classes of primary school and a group of gardeners
The labeling can be done using different polices, and in our garden wee used roman black capitals (big and well contrasted letters so as to be readable by visually impaired, and braille for blind)
