Sumario:In this paper, we aimed to establish a knowledge dialogue in a rural school through workshops that explored biological diversity of plants. A survey was carried out aiming to understand previous knowledge on plants and biological classification modes with students of a Family Farm School.  Using Ethnobiology as a theoretical basis, we promote the dialogue between traditional and scientific knowledge. The research was performed with students of 6o and 8o grades. The action-research methods were also used as a support in this research. The results show that students have extensive knowledge of different species of plants that are in their daily lives. The research also show that the students use morphological and functional criteria to categorize plants. In addition, the research has evidenced the significance of science workshops that address aspects related to biological classification as a tool for learning botany and the valorization of community knowledge, providing a dialogue between local and scientific knowledge at school.
