When we had to postpone our Spain project due to the Corona crisis, we thought of other educational activities to benefit the public and provide learning opportunities. We came up with the idea of a landscaping project that would benefit animals, plants, students and MES staff. We decided to completely revamp a run-down pond from the 1980th and turn it into an oasis of peace with flowers and butterflies.
