The purpose of this product is to serve as a guide for the implementation and didactic use of a Sensory Garden (JS), demonstrating how its elements can be used to achieve meaningful learning through investigation, creativity, sharing and contextualization of new knowledge. The presented proposals are guided by assumptions of Project-Based Learning and can help teachers and students to achieve a transformative and reflective Environmental Education, thus, we include in this material suggestions for
activities and educational itineraries that can be carried out both in the sensory garden and in other environments teaching, and that relate the contents of Biology and Health, Agroecology, Chemistry and related areas. The material discusses relevant issues such as the importance of flexibility of activities suited to the teaching context, the enhancement of individuality and the construction process (not only the results), the contributions of group work, the importance of the teacher/teacher as a mediator of the process and the possibility of exploring new ways of working Environmental Education.
