KidzMondo Doha to set up Botany Schools
DOHA, October 15, 2016
KidzMondo Doha, a one-of-a-kind miniature edutainment city in Qatar, has partnered with Palmera Landscapes, to introduce the theme park’s visitors to the art and science of botany, and plant in their young minds - important life lessons inspired by the brilliance of nature.
Palmera Landscapes, a major player in Qatar's landscaping construction and maintenance sector, said the move is aimed at giving kids in Qatar an insightful look into the fascinating kingdom of plants.
The ‘Botany School’ will provide a fertile ground for children to learn about the basics of planting seeds and practice their gardening skills through a range of fun experiments, while sowing seeds of wisdom that grow with them as they mature into adulthood.
"Plants don’t put limits on their growth, they grow as much as they can. They utilize every resource available to them in order to bloom. These are just two of many life lessons kids can learn from plants and apply in their own lives, as they come of age," explained Nabil R. Barakat, the general manager of KidzMondo Doha.
"The ‘Botany School’ we are developing in collaboration with Palmera will take our young visitors on a journey of exploration through the intriguing world of plants, providing them with valuable life skills and invaluable nuggets of wisdom along the way, while further enriching their experience at our one-of-a-kind edutainment city," he added.
Following up on Barakat‘s remarks, Amer Mahasen, the general nmanager at Palmera Landscapes, said: "At Palmera, we believe landscape is a language we understand best, and the drive we have to turn any inspiration and dream into reality is how we express our belief."
"This is perfectly aligned with KidzMondo’s vision and creates the right environment to ensure that our ‘Botany School’ serves its purpose well and adds tremendous value to children’s memorable experiences at the upcoming Edutainment City. Our roots run as deep as our company principles and values, and we can’t wait to bring our experience to children and make a tangible difference in the lives of those we entrust with building a greener future for all," he noted.
The edutainment city’s ‘Botany School’ will teach kids aged 4 to 14 how to plant, transplant, attend to, and do the necessary work for plants to develop and give flower then fruit, as well as how to provide the earth and plants with the proper environment and care.
Each ‘Kidizen’ will be given seeds, sand, a pot, water sprayer and pair of gloves, before setting foot into a specially built ‘Greenhouse’; a glass room with the right environmental factors favoring plant cultivation, where kids will learn first-hand the vital role that trees and plants play in our lives, stated Mahasen.-TradeArabia News Service
