IMC Weekend School
BEING A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER IS SOOO COOL
Sunday January 23rd, a very enthusiastic group of little visitors came by our office! Over 25 young students from the IMC Weekendschool Delfshaven visited Felixx’ headquarters and learned about our profession. We introduced the students into landscape design and taught them about the importance of green spaces in the city, biodiversity and how everybody – yes, even them – can participate and contribute to a greener, healthier and happier world.
We asked them to design their favorite city playground and armed with clay, soil, water and seeds, they made flower bombs. At the end of winter they can drop them in a sad place in need of color and bee activity. In spring their neighborhood will bloom like never before!
We were pleasantly surprised by their thoughts, ideas, designs and enthusiasm. We are gratefull to IMC weekendschool for offering us this opportunity, not only for the students, but also for our company and employees.
