Collaborative construction site with teens

Croq’Jardin was built, over the years, through the participation of young people (14-20 years) as part of ecological construction sites supervised by technicians: ecological waterhole, earth-straw building,  dry toilets, "calade" (paved ground technique), plantings, braided fences, etc.

What makes it a good practice or tool?

This exchange system is used to create the link with young people and the garden, without which they would perhaps never have frequented the garden.

This practice serves to integrate young people into the team of gardeners, this way, they respect the place and the people around them.
