At Hadiqaa, our goal is to promote gardening and activate the community, in order to protect biodiversity and support sustainability.
We believe that by educating the young generation about plant life and gardening, we can create a more sustainable future for all.
To achieve this, we offer different activities for schools and kids groups:
- Workshops at the school
- Gardening as an extra curricular activity (at school)
- School garden planning and activation
- Teachers’ training in gardening
- Special needs gardening programs
All of our programs are offered by specialized gardening instructors and agronomists.
1. At school workshops:
Hadiqaa brings hands-on gardening and sustainability education directly to your school. Our workshops transform any classroom, courtyard, or garden space into an engaging learning environment where students discover nature, science, and environmental responsibility through practical activities.
Designed by agronomists and educators, our programs align with school curricula and support inquiry-based learning, wellbeing, and outdoor education. All workshops are interactive, age-appropriate, and adapted to Qatar’s climate.
1. Gardening Basics
A highly engaging, three-station workshop that introduces students to the foundations of gardening. Classes rotate through hands-on activities, ensuring every child participates fully.
Stations include:
- Soil Mixing & Repotting
- Seed Starting
- Insects & Plant Care
Each student receives a plant or seed pot to take home, reinforcing learning beyond the classroom.
2. Composting at School
A practical and inspiring workshop that helps schools start or improve their composting system.
Students and teachers learn:
- How to separate organic waste
- What materials can and cannot be composted
- How to set up and maintain a compost bin
- Simple daily routines for classroom composting
- The science behind decomposition, microbes, and soil health
This workshop can be delivered as a standalone session or integrated into broader sustainability or Eco-Schools initiatives.
3. Customized Programs
We design tailored workshops to meet the unique needs of your school. Programs can be adapted for:
- Sustainability weeks and green events
- After-school clubs
- Long-term garden programs
- Sensory-friendly or inclusive sessions
- Themed activities such as water conservation, pollinators, herbs, desert plants, or food-growing in Qatar
Our team works closely with teachers to create experiences that match your learning goals, available space, and students’ age groups.
2. School Garden Planning and Activation:
School gardens can serve as outdoor labs and they are great places for students to learn about plant life and much more!
They have multiple social, environmental and health benefits, by teaching students how food is grown, while also offering some outdoor time.
When we activate a school garden, we start from a basic design based on your needs.
Then, we provide you with detailed lists of activities and required supplies for the garden creation and for its continuous operation, while we offer guidance at every step.
The final step is a workshop involving the teachers and the students, explaining the basics of plant life and plant care, while planting the garden together.
