Playhouse

Playhouse

Firstly, we have a real Children's House, where children can climb rope ladders, jump on the trampoline, slide down, draw on the walls, model and carve, and then arrange an exhibition of their work.

Or they can hide on the top floor and just read, without any adults around! Right outside the house there is water and sand, a pyramid for climbing, a sports ground, a table tennis.

Peter Pan House

Peter Pan House

Real Peter Pan Forest house

We call it a shelter in the woods. Here you can play Robinson Crusoe or a survival game, it's like catching a fish in the stream and it's like a hunt.

Just so you know, real mushrooms grow here!

Pão de Ló workshop

How to make Pão de Ló

We prepare this sweet and airy biscuit in a special way — with orange zest. First, participants go to the henhouse and collect the freshest eggs themselves. Then our Francisca tells you about the history of this treat and shows you how to make it as airy as possible.

After baking in a traditional ceramic mould, it will be enjoyed with orange juice or tea.

Age 5–12
Duration 1 hour

Herbarium workshop

How to make a herbarium & souvenir from a plant

This is what scientists and biologists call a collection of dried plants. We will learn why we need a herbarium, how to make and store it, and how to divide plants into groups.

Then we dry the plant, make a frame — and the finished souvenir can be taken home immediately. We will sign the name!

Planting workshop

How to plant tomatoes or other vegetables

We always make sure fresh, seasonal vegetables are growing in our vegetable garden. During the class you visit the garden, get to know the plants, learn what they look like and how to care for them.

Then Natalia helps you equip yourself and you plant whatever is in season. Before you leave, you collect some vegetables for your salad in a basket.
