Workshop 1: Slip into the role of a pomologist - child-friendly documentation of fruit varieties
Slip into the role of a pomologist and rediscover familiar things! The popular fruit invites us on a journey of discovery. We look at different types of fruit and discover their inner and outer characteristics, which offer us completely new sensory impressions. We also document our findings like an expert! Equipped with a pencil and paper, you'll become real budding pomologists and learn what's important when identifying fruit varieties.
