Authored by Mrs. Rachna Puri, a Primary Teacher and Zoologist at Government Primary School Sheikhupur K1 in Kapurthala, Punjab, this book documents the school's journey toward environmental sustainability and nature-based education. Inspired by her participation in a teacher training program at the University of Turku, Finland, Puri highlights the creation of the school's Herbal Garden and various Eco Club initiatives. The text details native trees, medicinal plants, flowering shrubs, and local pollinators on campus. Ultimately, it serves as a guide for educators to integrate nature into everyday learning while fostering environmental responsibility among young students.
