Resumen:
Succulents are remarkable plants found in abundance in the Northeast of Brazil,
standing out for their ability to adapt to adverse environments and for being
integrated into the lives of local communities. This work proposes the creation of a
didactic succulent garden as an innovative tool for teaching botany, with the aim of
stimulating students' connection with the content through practical and contextualized
experiences. To achieve this purpose, the work includes the formulation of a detailed
plan for the creation and maintenance of the garden, including the careful selection of
species to be cultivated, the care necessary for their healthy development and the
structuring of the space in an educational and attractive way. Furthermore, practical
activities are suggested that explore not only botanical aspects, but also
interdisciplinary concepts of biology, geography, chemistry and physics, thus
enriching the students' learning experience. The methodological approach adopted in
this research is qualitative, based on documentary analysis. The target audience for
this project are elementary and secondary school students, age groups in which
interest in nature and practical learning is often high. The creation of a succulent
garden as a teaching resource not only enriches the curricular content, but also
provides a more meaningful educational experience, stimulating curiosity,
observation and care for the environment. By implementing the succulent garden in
schools, it is expected not only to strengthen botany teaching, but also to promote
environmental awareness and the appreciation of local biodiversity. The creation of
this teaching resource, therefore, represents a valuable opportunity to integrate
theoretical and practical knowledge, contributing to a more complete education
connected to contemporary environmental issues.
