Abstract

Building on current trends in contemporary literature, this chapter analyses how advanced digital solutions can support environmental education in the context of sensory gardens. To this end, the authors analyzed the extent to which parents of preschool children in Belgrade are familiar with the concept of sensory gardens and whether the use of QR codes in sensory gardens promotes informal learning in the family context. The results show that most respondents are not familiar with the concept of sensory gardens and the benefits they offer. However, a significant proportion of respondents believe that the use of QR codes in sensory gardens would be a positive step towards facilitating informal learning for children and parents and encouraging children to spend more time in nature. The results show the value of digitalization in promoting the importance of environmental connectivity and resource conservation in local communities and underline the need to increase the number of sensory gardens in Serbia.
