Yesterday Helena and Sofia visited Linnéskolan, a Waldorf school in Alingsås. The school has an ecological profile, which means, among other things, that they only use ecological products, serve vegetarian food and has a building constructed with as much natural materials as possible. Linnéskolan has a kitchen garden where they grow herbs, flowers, strawberries and more. They use the produce in the kitchen and also to produce products such as tea, soap, lip balm, apple cider vinegar etc. The school compound also contains a lovely birch forest, where the pupils can play and relax. The visit was a good inspiration for our continous work with St. Joseph's school yard!
