Agro-education
A farmhouse open to discover the huerta
Planta i Cull was born from a love of the huerta, organic farming and rural life. Through agro-education we want to bring this world closer to everyone, especially to nursery and primary school children.
The ground floor of the farmhouse has a large workshop room. Upstairs, the two old “cambras” —where tobacco and tiger nuts were once dried— now house the museum rooms.
Outside there is a fully fenced leisure area and the field where school trips, events and family visits take place.
Learning goals
- Discover the plant world
- Identify the parts of a plant
