Educational Programs

Book Parties:
Our staff have developed programs for visiting school children to spend a day in our garden. Each of these children receives a book (in Lao) for free, published by us, about plants and nature in Laos. Or we organize these ‘Book Parties’ directly in the villages, sponsored by private donations.

Pha Tad Ke’s Publication Department develops books for children and the general public as well as scientific publications and educational manuals. For more information on the twenty plus titles we have published and free download of our manuals please go to our publications page.

We have courses available for students in Field Botany, Horticulture and Ecology. We also provide training in ecotourism and a three-months long horticulture course. In 2019 we started training courses in permaculture, and January 2022 we added a new training on Insect Food Farming for local communities. These have all been developed with the help and collaboration of local partners and NGOs.
