Pflanz' Mich!
2022 , school book
tasks: conception , art direction , layout , typographic illustrations
Plant' Me - the interactive school project in a practical and customisable book. The alternatives to the classic flower bed can be found in any classroom or any space in the city.
With the integrated seed papers children can try out their gardening skills and learn about plants and nutrition. The vegetables that grow can be made into delicious dishes. The recipes can be accessed digitally via QR codes. Due to the excessive consumption of digital media, nutrition is changing. Quick and cheap food is preferred to home-cooked and healthy food. In addition, awareness of the value and the components or recycling of food has decreased.
We show children the healthy world of plants and arouse their curiosity through exciting experiments in 'urban gardening'. We offer an interactive school project with a modular plant book and accompanying posters. In this way, the children engage alone and as a group with all their senses. A final cooking with the vegetables they have grown themselves is the common goal of the project.
