EduGarden 2.0 · a new generation of school gardening

The one lesson students
never want to skip.

A real smart garden in the classroom. An app where every child grows a plant of their own. And a competition where the whole class cheers for the same thing — their school.

What EduGarden 2.0 is

A garden. A game. A competition.
All in one package.

It’s not a mock-up and it’s not an app “for show”. The garden is real, the plants are real — and the kids fight over them.

At school
🌿

A real smart garden

Sensors track soil moisture, temperature and air, the lighting runs on a schedule — and the class sees it all live in the app. A living lab, right inside the school.

On the phone
🌱

Every child — their own plant

In the app every pupil has their own EduPlant that grows through six stages — but only if they really look after it. Care, quizzes, missions and badges.

Across Croatia
🏆

Schools compete

Every pupil’s effort earns points for THEIR school. Classes compete inside the school, schools against each other — on a national leaderboard.

Care becomes a game the whole class lives

The EduPlant only grows when a child really looks after it — in the garden and in the app. No shortcuts, no buying growth.

Missions

Small daily tasks that build a habit of care, not a dependence on screens.

Badges

Achievements for effort that doesn’t happen by accident.

🔬
Lab and fair

Growing, crossing varieties and trading — science through play.

Competition

The whole class cheers for the same thing

Every child’s EduPoints add up into a class and school score. Suddenly, watering the basil is a matter of class honour.

Each school has its own yearly goal and public progress — and the best ones earn a status money can’t buy.

2023.the first EduGarden in a classroom

The first EduGarden has been standing in a classroom since 2023. That experience became EduGarden 2.0, which 77 schools start with in 2026. The experts are with us too: we work with the Faculty of Agriculture.

How much extra work is EduGarden?

Less than you think. The garden runs itself, quizzes and missions rotate on their own, and reminders reach the kids automatically. Your part is fitting the garden into your lessons — and for that you have ready-made plans.

What is included in the package?

The device, installation, staff training, the app for pupils and the school portal. We come to you — the school needs no technician.

How is pupils’ privacy protected?

Names are masked on the leaderboards, we collect the bare minimum of data, and location data is stripped from photos automatically. Children’s privacy is a rule, not an option.

Our school has no experience with technology like this. Is that a problem?

Not at all. EduGarden is in schools of every size, from big city ones to small rural branch schools. Training is part of the package and we're with you the whole school year.
