You can add "vegetable" if you want but I think this is a little restrictive since in our bioparks we also have small fruit shrubs or fruit trees (orchard).

I am not sure whether bio refers to organic here as much as to biology (class).

hands-on organic garden


Explanation:
Although "hands-on" doesn't truly mean educational, it's very common to see "hands-on learning" or "hands-on education."

For example,
"Hands-on practical ecological program giving participants tools and useful knowledge in alternative building methods, composting, organic gardening and ecological planning for sustainable development and resource protection."


And Phillipe's comment is important -- bio in English doesn't mean organic.




(However, could bio mean biologique in your text?)
