This building is very unique because it allows people of all ages to meet and share the gardens within the school with the kids. The garden features rabbits, goats, chickens and many vegetables. The garden allows for the local kids to enjoy the outdoors and learn more about gardening and animals. Forfatterhuset kindergarten acts as a playground, building, park and an academic institution.
