HANDS-ON TRAINING FOR AGRICULTURAL STUDENTS FROM DOBRICH AT THE UNIVERSITY BOTANICAL GARDEN – BALCHIK

On May 27, 2025, students from the 11th grade of the Vocational High School of Agricultural Management in Dobrich visited the University Botanical Garden in Balchik to take part in another session of the “Practical Training in a Real Work Environment” program.

During the visit, the students—specializing in Agroecology and Plant Protection and Agrochemistry—had the opportunity to expand the Medicinal Plants collection in The Nursery Garden by introducing new species to the sector. Guided by the garden’s team of specialists, the students also practiced planting container-grown specimens in areas with existing vegetation, gaining valuable horticultural experience.

This practical training is part of the ongoing collaboration between the Botanical Garden and the school, and it plays an important role in preparing students for their future careers through real-world experience.
