Our fieldtrip to MAICH

On Tuesday, October the 30th our Kindergarten visited the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chaniaand more specifically the  Mediterranean Plant Conservation unit. Children had the chance to see first hand the Seed Bank the Herbarium and the Botanical Garden of the MAICH.

we learned how the scientists collect the seeds from the plants how they study them on the stereoscope and how they conservate them. We saw some of our endemic and endagered flora species. At the end of the visit MAICH shared with us some herb seeds and some seeds of Pancratium maritimum" so that we can plant them in our Botanical Garden, back in  our schoolyard.
