Dr. Berry Raspberry Schools – National Berry Education
Media Patron: Jagodnik.pl
Program Leader: Bolesław Chrobry Academic School Complex in Nowy Sącz
Our Goal
Poland is famous for its exceptional raspberries and blackberries – our national superfruits, rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. We want every child in Poland to see how raspberries and blackberries grow, taste these Polish superfruits straight from the bush, learn about a healthy lifestyle and ecology, and discover our colorful national superfruits, valued worldwide.
That’s why we are creating the nationwide Dr. Berry Raspberry Schools Trail – a network of schools that establish educational raspberry and blackberry gardens together with us. It’s an investment in health, awareness, and pride in Polish superfruits.
How the Program Works
Ambassadors contribute “bricks” – minimum contribution: 250 PLN
Each Ambassador receives a Global Berry Education Society t-shirt
In the transfer, indicate the municipality and school you want to support
When we collect at least 2,500 PLN + travel costs (1 PLN/km round trip from Nowy Sącz), we organize workshops and establish the garden
During the visit, we conduct educational sessions for children and provide materials
Garden Options
1. HydroBerry – balcony or small-space container kit
Includes:
✔️ 5 large DonKwiat 25 L pots with CarboHort soil based on brown coal
✔️ Organic fertilizers such as Natureum horn shavings, Agrarius eco-fertilizer, Natura Expert biostimulation, and Insignes Lab
✔️ HydroBerry Kit – drip irrigation system (refill every 4 days)
✔️ Premium seedling – a unique variety by Dr. Agnieszka Orzeł (black, red, or golden raspberry, or blackberry)
✔️ Instruction and educational support – e-book with year-round care guide
Ideal for urban schools or places without garden space – just a balcony, terrace, or small yard is enough.
2. Ground Garden
1 row (~6 m length):
– 4 blackberries planted every 1 m
– 6 raspberries (2 bushes each of yellow, black, and red) planted every 0.5 m
Note: The school prepares the ground – clearing, loosening, and marking the area.
