Social project "our blooming kindergarten". Project (middle, senior, preparatory group) on the topic: Project "Our blooming kindergarten" Report kindergarten blooming garden

The vast territory of our Vestochka is the envy of any kindergarten. And it was the large space that made it possible to turn our kindergarten into a real green kingdom. A wide variety of trees and shrubs in our garden can only be compared with a botanical garden. But once the territory kindergarten It was a wasteland with an area of ​​5000 sq.m., on which there were only a kindergarten building and verandas for walking. And so the caring hands of the employees of kindergarten No. 425 even then began work on shaping the landscape and landscaping the entire territory.

And now our kindergarten is a heavenly green corner. Any person who has ever visited Vestochka immediately pays attention to the alley located at the entrance to the kindergarten. Ate with their soft and lush paws welcome every visitor. And how gently and affectionately the willow sways in the wind, bending its thin branches low, as if singing lullabies to our pupils.

In the middle of summer, the territory of the kindergarten is filled with the delightful honey aroma of blooming linden. And how pleasing to the eye are fir, blue spruce, white-trunked birch. Larch trees are very beautiful in spring, when they have pale green needles. And the mountain ash is beautiful closer to autumn, when the branches bend closer to the ground under the weight of bright orange berries.

And how deliciously fruit trees bloom! Delicate white-pink color of apple and cherry trees, the aroma, inhaling which you feel, rejoice and live ... And how beautifully their petals fall, covering the ground light white carpet! The color of acacia, mountain ash, viburnum, spirea decorate the site very much in spring and summer.

And all these trees and shrubs are not only pleasing to the eye, but also bring great benefits to all residents of Vestochka. In summer, trees protect children from the bright sun and give a saving shade during the heat, in autumn we harvest from apple and pear trees, and in winter, the children happily hang bird feeders on the branches.

And our kindergarten has replenished its “green” collection with seedlings of new rare trees and shrubs, such as white willow dwarf, Japanese volcanic willow, Betula birch, lilac “Galina Ulanova”, “Lila Wonder”, “Prime Rose”. And last year, our graduates planted Red maple seedlings as a keepsake for the kindergarten. These trees are still very young, but thanks to the caring care of our employees, they will become big, strong and beautiful! And the most obvious proof of this is thuja and chestnut, planted several years ago. Indeed, thanks to proper care these plants grew and grew strong in uncharacteristic climatic conditions.

The fund of our "botanical garden" is updated annually. And our pupils can boast of knowing not only all the plants familiar to our eyes, but also trees and shrubs that cannot be seen on the streets of our city.

Vestochka's guests - fans and experts in botany - often come to admire our mighty aspens, the incredible color of Red maple leaves, and biology students have come to us more than once for horse chestnut seeds.

On the kindergarten site there are decorative flowering lawns and grassy lawns where children can play, watch insects and various grasses. A grassy lawn pleases us with juicy dense greenery thanks to proper, constant care: weed removal, timely mowing, watering in the evening or early morning.

When creating decorative variegated flower beds and lawns, we take into account the different periods of flowering of perennial plants and lawn grasses. As soon as the spring sun warms the earth, the time of flowering of tulips, daffodils and irises begins. And it seems that green grass has not yet appeared everywhere, and their flowering buds are already delighting with a riot of colors and shapes.

And soon the flowers of ageratum and petunias, lobelia bloom their petals. In the middle of summer, our garden is filled with the unsurpassed scent of peonies and roses. Each flower is fragrant and breathes brightness, life! Daisies with pale purple petals and a honey center round like the sun, classic daisies in dazzling white corollas, petunia and begonia, phlox and viola ... And how beautiful, colorful and bright dahlias and gladioluses, asters, chrysanthemums bloom in August and September and phloxes. Cineraria and hostas add silvery and bright green color to this motley "bouquet".

And somewhere not far from the entrance there is a wonderful Japanese garden where you can retire, be in harmony with yourself and with nature. The Japanese landscape garden is characterized by simplicity and the use of only four elements: stones, water, trees and flowers. The stone represents strength and desire. Therefore, the path to the garden is paved with stones. The small pond is also surrounded by rocks. Water - symbolizes the passage of time, it calms and gives strength. And the contemplation of beautiful flowers (daylilies, hostas, viola) and shrubs (feverfew, horse chestnut, bird cherry, snowberry) gives the eyes and soul the necessary peace and rest.

After passing through the bridge, you can get directly from the Japanese garden into a cute village courtyard. Here you can relax on a bench and admire the beautiful flowers and surroundings of village life.

And Vestochka's favorite place, of course, is the vegetable garden. Various vegetable crops grow in the garden: lettuce, radishes, onions, peas, beans, zucchini, white cabbage, beets, carrots, and tomatoes. There is also a bed of Dr. Aibolit, on which medicinal plants grow (mint, chamomile, lemon balm). In the spring, children watch how adults dig up beds, fertilize them, i.e. they prepare the garden for planting, and in the summer the children are directly involved in caring for the garden: weed the beds, loosen the ground, and water it. For each age group beds fixed.

The children proudly talk about what they grow in the beds, how they take care of them and are already dreaming about what a rich harvest they will harvest in the fall. And in our garden there is a memo with the rules that every resident of Vestochka is obliged to follow.

On the mini-field, the children of the older groups, together with the teacher, sow the seeds of different crops: wheat, rye and buckwheat. There is also a potato field. In the process of growth, seedlings are compared, the stages of their growth are noted. Thus, work in the field develops children's observation skills, the ability to compare, analyze and draw conclusions. The harvested crop also has a practical application: birds feast on grains, which are many in the territory of the kindergarten, children decorate the hall and the group with spikelets for the Autumn holiday.

And with what awe, love and excellent tastes, our educators decorate flower beds in the areas. Some of them discovered the talent of a gardener only in Vestochka. And now every year they look forward to spring to realize all their "flower" fantasies and create a dream bed.

The area of ​​the kindergarten different time of the year delights with its beauty: the multicolor and golden fall of autumn, snow-covered firs and birches in white openwork scarves in winter, the first delicate flowers in spring, the sounds of bird songs and a colorful flower carpet in summer. The Garden of Vestochka pleases the eye with colors, warms the soul with aromas. Thanks to our garden, we can say with confidence that in a blooming garden it is easier to breathe and believe in a fairy tale, in miracles and in a better future.

Activities for the development and implementation of the Project

Analysis of the situation

The territory of a preschool institution is a kind of visiting card. Any visitor, having stepped on the site of the preschool educational institution, pays attention to its well-groomed and aesthetics. If the eye is pleased with colorful flower beds, clean paths, sports and play equipment, then you will immediately understand that people live and work here, for whom a kindergarten is not just a place of work, but a home that you want to make cozy and comfortable.

In the Year of Ecology, established by the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin, we decided to implement a social project for the improvement and landscaping of the territory of the preschool institution "Our Blooming Kindergarten".

Project Idea

Choosing the idea of ​​the project, we decided that the improvement and landscaping of the territory of the preschool educational institution is the most relevant socially significant topic. We were driven by the desire to change the existing environment of the territory of the kindergarten, to create our own individual image.

By implementing the project, we will please not only ourselves, but also those around us with the result of the work, since in our village there are not enough beautiful, flowering yards where small children could play and admire the beauty of nature. We believe that the creation of beauty around you should start from early childhood.

Another reason why we wanted to transform our territory is to educate children in a respectful and caring attitude towards nature and work. Therefore, the staff of the kindergarten "Rodnichok" decided to implement a social project to improve the ecological and artistic and aesthetic condition of the territory of the preschool educational institution, increase its attractiveness, create aesthetically educative conditions for conducting educational activities.

Objective of the project:

improvement and landscaping of the territory of the kindergarten, the creation of a comfortable landscape zone for the implementation of various types of children's activities of pupils (cognitive, research, creative, recreational, labor, etc.) while staying at the kindergarten site.

Project objectives:

To turn kindergarten plots into a territory of beauty, fairy tales, goodness through the creation of an individual image of the territory, designed according to the fairy tales of K.I. Chukovsky.

Equip the territory of the preschool educational institution in accordance with the sanitary and epidemiological requirements and methodological recommendations for conducting summer recreational work with children.

Use additional opportunities (budgetary and non-budgetary funds, charitable assistance) to purchase equipment, involve teachers, parents, children in the work process, and identify business partners.

To develop respect for nature and the environment.

"Inhabitants" of the Alpine hill

Relatively recently, I became interested in floriculture and decided to translate my ideas into work. My work is a kindergarten, and I embodied the ideas in the flowerbeds at the main entrance. I would like to note that I live in the North, in the Arkhangelsk region - short summer, little sun, not enough colors, sad - but how you want the southern colors!

I set tasks for myself: to diversify the landscape, to remove the excess, to make pleasant moments for children, the plants should bloom for as long as possible, to find ideological inspirers.

I got started last summer.

Firstly, I made two angular symmetrical alpine hills (colleagues helped), the third hill - at the entrance - an oval shape, through which a dry stream flows. Secondly, I planted seedlings of flowers (for the first time, on public place- I was very nervous!).

Alpine hill in June….

… and in August!

I wanted to do everything at once that I had planned, but it is physically impossible, so I left part of the work for the next year.

I decided to experiment and broke long flower beds into zones. In one, she planted marigolds in a zigzag (border), high zinnias between them, in the other undersized marigolds in a row (border), in the background - annual dahlias, another zone - a mixture of annuals. Perennial tall bushes, similar to mimosa and irises, left at the edges. I really liked the dahlias, as the bushes were strewn with bright flowers, marigolds of different heights delighted all summer. Everyone was delighted with the annual multi-colored phlox, lavatera and red salvia.

Marigolds zigzag

Sunny marigolds cheer up

Ideological inspirers were also found - this is the leadership of the kindergarten.

July turned out to be hot, it was necessary to water often. But the result exceeded my expectations - everything bloomed with bright colors! Parents were photographed against the backdrop of flowers.

Children notice beauty no less than adults, and for them I painted ordinary stones like "ladybugs" and settled them on a hill. Funny figures put in flowers. There was also a ceramic vase from which our dry stream begins. The concrete ledge was painted gray.

The first pancake was not lumpy!

This is the beauty of last summer

Flowerbed at the entrance to the kindergarten

I understand that all this will seem undeserving of attention to some specialists, but I, as an amateur, liked everything, especially since everything was done on enthusiasm, without funding (you know how people live preschool workers), on their own, during the holidays and most importantly with love - let everyone rejoice!

This year I continued to implement my ideas. I planted perennials on the hills: a bird-man, primrose, stonecrop, fescue. She dug up all the tall weeds (Jerusalem artichoke), and transplanted the golden balls into a corner where they would not interfere with anyone, planted hostas symmetrically at the porch. The tallest perennials have moved to the background (phloxes, mallows). Chamomile, which every year ran across to a new place, was moved to where it would not interfere with anyone. This summer, I gave preference to flowering annuals - petunias, marigolds, salvia, zinnia, dahlias. The first time I planted celosia. I drew a planting plan: the area at the entrance is a creeping carpet of petunias, flower beds that overlook the road will consist of rows that differ in height. I really dreamed of growing kochia, but nothing came of it. I will try next year. All this beauty requires constant attention, physical labor, time, effort - but I think it's worth it!

Zinnia - This is an annual (less often - perennial) herbaceous or semi-shrub plant belonging to the Aster family, the order of Astroflowers. According to modern estimates, the genus includes about 20 plant species. Zinnia got its name from Carl Linnaeus in honor of the professor of pharmacology Johann Gottfried Zinn, director of the botanical garden in Göttingen, Germany. It was he who first brought this exotic flower to Europe in 1796. In Rus', there were other names for this plant: majors, majors, red carnations, cherkasiki.

Zinnia is native to Mexico. Today these bright flowers most common in southern Mexico, as well as throughout Central and South America, especially in canyon areas, at an altitude of 1500 m above sea level. On the territory of the former USSR, zinnia is found in Central Asia, Ukraine, and the North Caucasus.

Petunia

Among the annuals that adorn flower beds in all countries, petunia is most common. She came to Europe from America, or rather, from Brazil. Only small-flowered petunia (p. parviflora) has been recorded in the USA, Mexico and Cuba.

This genus was first described in 1793 by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck under the name "tobacco". And after 10 years, it was isolated in a separate genus - petunia. This name comes from the word "petun" - the so-called tobacco in Brazil.

Petunia hybrid or garden grows in gardens and parks. The first variety appeared in 1839. In 1855, the first terry petunias were already noted, and in 1881, large-flowered ones presumably appeared.

In the 60-70s. of the last century, as a result of cellular hybridization, petunias similar to ampelous ones, but not producing Surfinia seeds, appeared(Surfinia) which reproduced only vegetatively.

The next novelty was an ampelous, very profusely flowering petunia, with unusually small flowers. This petunia was named Million Bells(Million Bells). It also reproduces only vegetatively.

More recently, another ampelous petunia has appeared with small flowers of sandy yellow and brick red color - Calibrachoa(Calibrachoa).

According to the size of the flower, petunias are divided into two large groups: large-flowered(Grandiflora), with a flower diameter of 7-13 cm and many-flowered(Floribunda or Multiflora), with flowers 5-8 cm.

IN last years a group with small flowers 2.5-4 cm, called small-flowered, has become very popular.(Milliflora).

Phloxes

Europeans first became acquainted with phlox around 1630, after John Tradescant explored the flora of eastern North America. But only in the XVIII century, when botanists discovered phloxes in the far west of the country, Europe received this type of flower from various American colonies. They are the ancestors of cultivated varieties. Only the creeping phlox is of Siberian origin.

Since then, through hybridization and selection, the number of phlox varieties has increased significantly. They differ in depth and variety of colors, duration of flowering, growth pattern and basic structure. The improvement of the genus and the creation of new varieties continues to this day. Now there are about 60 species and about 1500 varieties.

Translated from Greek, "phlox" means "flame", "flame". This name was given to plants in 1737 by Carl Linnaeus due to the bright red color of some wild species.

In our country, phloxes are affectionately called "sitchik" because of their bright colors. The most decorative are tall panicled phloxes, reaching 150 cm. They deservedly adorn any flower garden. Broadly paniculate inflorescences are held on top of strong, strong erect leafy stems and delight with a rich fragrant aroma that spreads far into the air, filling the garden.

The color of the flowers is unusually bright, very diverse and joyful: pure white, pink, red, purple. All colors have many shades and combinations.

Marigold (Tagetis) or tagetis are deservedly considered by flower growers and summer residents to be the easiest flowers to grow. Marigolds are usually grown as annuals. These lovely orange-yellow flowers begin in mid-spring and continue until frost. The inflorescences of marigolds are so diverse and bright that anyone can choose for themselves a variety of marigolds of the desired color and habit. There are plants with semi-double or double flowers among marigolds. Tagetis is also grown in pot culture and in balcony boxes. Flowers easily endure life in a limited space and produce many inflorescences, which makes it seem that you have a small ball of flowers in front of you. From the history of marigolds Marigolds were first discovered in Central and South America in the seventeenth century. Flowers were brought to Europe and botanists set about creating new hybrids. Most of today's marigold hybrids are the descendants of crosses between French marigold, spreading marigold, African marigold and erecta marigold. Depending on belonging to a particular species, the bushes of tagetis are sprawling or upright from 15 cm to 120 cm in height.

Salvia. Plant salvia (lat. Salvia), or sage - a numerous genus of herbaceous and shrubby perennials of the Lamiaceae or Lamiaceae family, common in tropical and temperate regions of all parts of the world except Australia. The name "salvia" is derived from the Latin "salvus", which means "to be healthy", and this is due to the fact that some types of plants have been used for medicinal purposes since time immemorial. Nothing heals a flux faster than gargling with sage tea. There are only about 900 representatives of the Salvia genus, and they all prefer to grow in bright places. To avoid confusion, the medicinal plant and spice are called sage, and the ornamental plants of this genus are called salvia. And although salvia is also sage, it is used for decorative purposes. Salvia officinalis has been known to people since the time of the Roman Empire, but salvia flowers were brought to Europe only in the 18th century, during the era of the horticultural boom.

Ageratum , or long-flowered - an annual or perennial herbaceous plant or shrub of the Asteraceae family, or Asteraceae. In nature, there are about 60 species of ageratum growing in Eastern India, North and Central America.
Depending on the species, the ageratum can be erect, spreading or dwarf. Numerous pubescent stems form a strongly branched bush. The leaves are opposite, petiolate, crenate-toothed. Small flowers of ageratum are collected in small inflorescences. Flowers are blue, purple, pink or white. Blooms from June to mid-October.

Mallow

The ancient Romans cultivated the common mallow as a medicinal and culinary plant. Mallow leaves were cooked like vegetables, and the seeds were added to salads and sauces. By the 15th century mallow has earned a reputation as a panacea. It was used for its mild laxative properties - and this was believed to rid the body of all diseases. But mallow was primarily valued as a culinary plant, and books from that period are full of recipes for making mallow leaves with butter and vinegar, as well as sweets from the stems of the plant. The most original idea is to cut mallow leaves, roll them into balls and serve instead of green peas. The Latin name of the plant means soft, gentle and refers to its hairy leaves and soothing properties.

Cineraria (lat. Cineraria)- this is the name of the genus of the family Asteraceae, or Compositae. Among the types of cineraria used in ornamental gardening, there are both representatives of this genus and species that belong to the genus of ragworts (lat. Senecio) close to cineraria of the tribe Crossworts of the same family Asteraceae. Directly representatives of the genus Cineraria, there are about fifty in nature, while according to various sources, from one to three thousand species, according to various sources. In this article, we will talk about the most popular types of both cineraria and ragwort used in ornamental gardening.

daylily, or Hemerocallis (Hemerocallis), or krasnodnev, has become increasingly popular among Russian flower growers in recent years.

Elegant daylily hybrids were created by breeders on the basis of wild natural species having a different appearance and different flowering periods. For example, these are: Middendorf's daylily, Thunberg's daylily, yellow daylily, red daylily, etc. All wild species of daylily are unpretentious and long-flowering plants with bright goblet-shaped flowers and an elegant fan of xiphoid leaves.

primroses - perennial, rarely biennial and annual herbaceous plants. The leaves are entire, wrinkled, covered with hairs, forming a basal rosette. The flowers are five-membered, regular in shape, of various colors and shades, solitary or collected in racemose or umbellate inflorescences at the ends of leafless stems. The fruit is a box.

Most of the species are flowering low herbs.

The ancient Greeks believed that the primrose contained a healing agent against all diseases. The leaves of primrose (primrose) contain a large number of carotene andvitamin C , many carbohydrates, glycosides, essential oils, organic acids. Therefore, decoctions of this plant are taken withrheumatism And headaches , treat them bronchitis , pneumonia, whooping cough. The root of primrose (primrose) has a weak diuretic and diaphoretic effect, enhances the secretion of the stomach, activates the metabolism.

Muscari - perennial bulbous plants with a non-branching leafless stem (peduncle) up to 10–25 cm high. Belt-shaped leaves, 2–6 pieces in a ground rosette, about 10–16 cm long. Apical inflorescence, many-flowered cylindrical brush, consists of 50–60 small flowers barrel-shaped or cylindrical. In the upper part of the inflorescence there are sterile (without pistils and stamens) flowers of a lighter tone, and below - darker fertile ones.

Flower color - from white (rarely) to dark purple, pink, one- or two-tone, with or without light edging. In open ground, flowering usually occurs in the first half of May.

Muscari - a plant with an elongated-aspiring active form of growth. Belongs to the group of plants of low importance. Most often serves as material for spring compositions. Muscari looks great in combination with others spring flowers. The short length of the stem suggests its use in miniature arrangements.

Lobelia

This North American plant gets its name from the local tradition of smoking it to prevent lung infections and asthma. The early settlers adopted this custom and used it to treat a number of ailments. Lobelia became popular in the 20th century. thanks to Samuel Thomas, who was accused of murder after one of his patients died after being treated with this plant. The name of the genus (which includes more than 350 species) is associated with the name of the Flemish botanist Matthias de Lobel (538-66).

Lobelia is a small, low plant resembling grassy shoots. As a rule, lobelia shoots reach 40-50 cm in length. Lobelia looks quite original from the side, because it forms small pillows on the ground, small spherical shrubs or cascades, tightly pressed to the ground. At the time of flowering, lobelia flowers resemble tiny fans, the diameter of which, as a rule, does not exceed more than 2-3 cm. It is interesting that the flowering process of lobelia lasts almost the entire spring and summer period, and so in a row that it manages to braid huge land plots.

Lily got its name from the ancient Gaulish word "li-li", which literally translates as "white-white". The first images of her are found on Cretan vases and frescoes starting from 1750 BC, and then among the ancient Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.

The white lily has been a symbol of innocence and purity since ancient times. The Egyptians decorated the bodies of dead young girls with lilies. In ancient Rome, white lilies were considered the flowers of grace, wealth and luxury, as well as hope.

Aster. The birthplace of the wild ancestors of the annual aster is the northern regions of Korea, Manchuria and China. In our country, wild aster is still occasionally found in some areas of Primorsky Krai. The range of the species is very narrow, and the species is on the verge of extinction.

The plant was supposedly brought to Europe in 1728 from Beijing. Probably, seeds of a cultivated form were sent. In 1745, forms with double inflorescences already appeared in France. From France in 1752, the aster came to England. Reed flowers of wild-growing specimens had a blue, carmine and purple color, but by the end of the 18th century. in the gardens of Europe there have already been forms with white, purple, red, pink, purple, blue and purple inflorescences. At the beginning of the XIX century. Versailles gardener Truffaut brought luxurious terry asters of various colors with large round inflorescences. Later, such asters began to be called pion-shaped. From the middle of the XIX century. asters acquired special love in Germany, and the center of its selection also moved here. It was in Germany since the end of the nineteenth century. and most of the cultivars and garden groups of the annual aster were created. At the end of the XIX - beginning of the XX century. interest in the aster originated in the United States. Varieties bred overseas were different tall and large densely double inflorescences. These are garden groups California Giant, Fluffy, American Bush and American Beauty. In our country, the beginning of work on the breeding of aster varieties dates back to the 30s. 20th century Particularly widespread work on the selection and hybridization of the annual aster unfolded in the 60s. Domestic breeders began their work on a huge collection of one-year-old aster, collected at the All-Russian Research Institute of Plant Industry named after N.I. Vavilov, the famous VIR. Since then, many good varieties have been obtained. Today, asters are selected in Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Ukraine and some other countries.

Chrysanthemum . A rare flower culture has a history as rich as the chrysanthemum. The most diverse flowers of this large (about 200 species) genus can be found in East Asia, selection work there has been going on for thousands of years. In China, the chrysanthemum was one of the most revered plants as early as 3,000 years ago.

In Japan, this flower appeared along with the first settlers. Admiring chrysanthemums - national tradition Japanese, and every year on September 9 in the Land of the Rising Sun, the holiday of chrysanthemums is celebrated.

Celosia - an elegant decoration of a flower bed, incredibly bright and spectacular, it becomes the prima of any flower garden, conquering with its unusual appearance. Let's try to grow the beauty of celosia together, and how to do it right, I will tell you in this article.

Quite exotic, figured, velvety inflorescences of celosia look great even in exquisite flower arrangements, decorating them and making them even brighter and more expressive.

daisies were especially popular in Europe in the Middle Ages. The knights, who received consent from their beloved for marriage, minted blooming daisies on the shield. If the beautiful lady had not yet decided what answer to give, she gave the knight a wreath of daisies.

Louis IX (1215-1270), who led the campaigns of the crusader knights, in honor of his wife Margaret ordered to make a special ring, which depicted a wreath of daisies and lilies. You can even talk about a certain custom, according to which it was considered the height of grace to give jewelry to noble ladies named Margarita, expensive trinkets with the image of a daisy, to beat the same names in puns and madrigals. So, at the marriage of the daughter of Francis I, Margarita (1523-1574), and Emmanuel of Savoy, the bride was presented with an elegant gold, decorated precious stones a wedding basket filled with white daisies and tied with a pink ribbon with the following inscription: "Each flower has its own charm, but if I were presented with a choice of a thousand flowers at once, I would still choose a daisy."

Viscaria. In the gardening guide, you can find information about one herbaceous plant that has at least five well-known names. This is a perennial amazing title viscaria. Other plant names are:lychnis, dawn, tar and adonis. Many growers call this flower "maiden or Tatar soap." The fact is that both the roots and the flowers, wet from summer rain or dew, if gently rubbed over them with your hand, perfectly lather. Here is such an unusual feature of the dawn that allowed her to become a people's favorite. In the old days, viscaria was used both for washing hands and for washing clothes.

A wonderful plant from the clove family, it will amazingly decorate any garden with a real cloud of small flowers. Herbaceous lychnis stands out among other plants with slightly branched erect stems. Perennial inflorescences, depending on the variety, can be of two types. Either capitate or loose corymbose. The sharp lanceolate leaves of the plant are pubescent on both sides. Viscaria has won the special love of growers and professional designers, thanks to the amazing color of its flowers.

Gatzania . Growing flowering crops in the garden requires careful attention to the timing of flowering and plant belonging to a particular group. Many novice gardeners do not navigate among the varieties and varieties of ornamental plants. The most commonly asked question is whether gazania flowers are an annual or a perennial. It's no secret that you can grow a similar flower in various ways, even use it in interior design. In order to understand this issue in detail, we offer a special material.

Gatsania is a genus of flowering plants in the Asteraceae family. The flower comes from South Africa and is a culture that looks very similar to our field chamomile, only its color is completely different. Quite often they are planted as a drought-resistant ground cover.

The first official description of the genus appeared in the 18th century - this was done by the German scientist and botanist Joseph Gärtner in one of the volumes of his work. The genus got its current name after Theodorus Gaza translated the work of Theofrost. In the 20th century, Helmut Ressler published his work, in which he claimed that Gatsania includes 16 types of flowers (after, in 1973, another book was released with minor amendments). Among the varieties there are gazania and annual and perennial.

Some parts of the plant become poisonous when ingested, but the reaction is usually mild: moderate irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, which is in no way life threatening.

Lobularia marine, a representative of the Cabbage family, a magnificent honey plant, uniting more than a hundred plant species distributed throughout Europe, Asia and North Africa. The history of wild alissums dates back more than 20 centuries, but in culture these wonderful flowers appeared not so long ago, but quickly gained popularity and recognition of gardeners. Yes, and nature did not deprive the plant of virtues: unpretentiousness, endurance, excellent aroma and cute decorative effect - everything is contained in this garden culture.

Carnation remontant, or Dutch large-flowered (D. cariophyllus) - a complex hybrid obtained as a result of numerous crossings of various species and forms. Perennial herbaceous, multiply flowering plant. Stem erect, articulated, woody in the lower part, branched, leafy. Leaves are opposite, linear, often twisted, dense. The stem and leaves are covered with a bluish bloom.

Carnation (Carthusian) is often found on canvases depicting the Madonna and Child. She serves as a pledge of love in the paintings of the betrothal of the Renaissance.

In modern times in France, the red carnation was the flower symbol of royalists, later of social democracy in the German-speaking regions. On Turkish and Caucasian carpets, the carnation is the personification of happiness...

Dahlia. The flower received the Latin name of the genus Dahlia (Dahlia) on behalf of the Swedish naturalist Andreas Dahl, a student of Carl Linnaeus, who was the first to describe the plant. The Russian name of the dahlia was chosen in honor of the professor of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, the famous geographer Johann Georg Gottlieb.

In Europe, namely in Madrid, the plant was brought in 1783, where the cultivation of dahlias began from the tubers in the royal garden. And immediately, botanists began breeding experiments, and not to grow flowers, but to increase the taste and size of tubers that were going to be eaten like potatoes. But in one unfortunate year, almost the entire collection died - only one tuber remained, which gave a magnificent red-yellow flower. Then the decorative qualities of the plant were appreciated - and the targeted cultivation of dahlias as garden flowers began.

Aquilegia (catchment) Until the middle of the 18th century, in most countries, including Russia, this plant was called either doves or eagles. "Birds" are easy to spot if you look at a flower or a large bud. The sepals, as it were, form wings, and the petal, extended into a nectary, forms the head and neck. Depending on what we are considering - a flower or a bud, the "birds" look different: the buds are more like a ruffled bird of prey, and the open flowers are more like a peaceful dove.

The name "catchment" was born in the middle of the 18th century, along with the advent of scientific nomenclature - the official names of plants. Russian science at that time was dominated by German scientists, many of whom made a great contribution to it. But the catchment was not lucky: it was apparently described by a person who did not know either the flower, or its Russian name, or the Latin language. Among the Germans, the flower bears a name derived from the Latin word "Akelei" (akels). The Latin name is also "bird": aquila - in Latin an eagle, respectively Aquilegia - the same Russian eagle. The translator saw in this word a complex combination of the words aqua - water and lego - I collect, so the German catchment "grew" on Russian soil. And among the people, as they called him an eagle, that's what they call him. By the way, in Dahl's dictionary it is mentioned under both names.

Delphinium. The name is related to the shape of the flower. The Greeks, in particular Dioscorides, (in the 1st century in his main work “On Medicines” described all known medicines of plant, animal and mineral origin) compared the buds with the head of dolphins (delphinos). In Russia it was called "spurr", in Germany - "knight's spurs", in England - "funny spurs", and in France - "lark's legs".

Greek legend says that once upon a time in Ancient Hellas there lived a gifted young man who sculpted his dead beloved from memory and breathed life into the statue. For this insolence, the gods turned him into a dolphin. Once a reborn girl came to the seashore and saw a dolphin in the waves, which swam to the shore and placed a delicate flower radiating azure light at the feet of her beloved. It was a delphinium flower.

Geranium. Back in the 17th century geranium brought to our region from the UK. Some people began to believe that this country is the birthplace of this amazing flower, but this is a wrong opinion. Geranium is a southern plant, and came to Europe from South Africa and India. It was brought in by the British. In the UK, other varieties of this plant began to be bred, which today many people grow at home. Geraniums decorate window sills, plant a plant in the garden.

Most of the geraniums are plants that have adapted to dry weather, so they have learned to accumulate a huge amount of moisture in their thick stems.

In the homeland of this plant, there are severe weather conditions. Most of the days of the year the scorching sun shines there. Often, droughts are replaced by heavy long rains that flood the land for several days.

About 10% of all geranium species grow in other areas.

Balsam - an interesting plant, the flowers of which enthusiastically delight the eye. All year round serves as a great home decoration. Imagine the colorful richness of the flowers on the cap that the leaves form. These flowers are grown not only in room conditions. After the last spring frost has passed, they can be planted in window boxes, flower beds, hanging baskets or lawns. After planting, waterfalls of flowers and greenery are created that will look like colorful, bright spots under the open sky. With the onset of autumn, flowers should be removed from the ground and stored indoors until the next spring.

Iris. According to Eastern legend, the first iris flower bloomed in prehistoric times in Southeast Asia, and everyone admired its beauty, and when its seeds ripened, they were spread all over the world. On the wall of the Palace of Knossos on about. Crete has a fresco depicting a young man surrounded by blooming irises, which is about 4 thousand years old. The Romans named one of the cities Florence (Blossoming) only because many irises grew in its vicinity. One of the ancestors of the hybrid iris - whitish iris - was grown in Ancient Egypt even in the XV-XVI centuries, BC. e.

Later, this species was distributed by the Arabs throughout the African coast of the Mediterranean Sea and further to Spain. According to the drawings of irises discovered in Madrid, dated 1610, it can be concluded that even at that time the decorative forms of iris with bordered petals were familiar to Europeans. After the discovery of America, the iris was brought to Mexico, and from there it spread to the United States. Since ancient times, people have been interested in the medicinal properties of iris. In the 1st century n. e. The Greek physician Dioscorides described them in his essay On Medicines. For more than 300 years, Florentine iris has been grown in Italy, the rhizomes of which contain iris oil, which is used in the perfume industry. And the rhizomes of the Dzungarian iris contain substances that have antiseptic properties.

feather grass , having an original method of reproduction, is well adapted to steppe conditions. Its seeds have long, pubescent pinnately, awns. Thanks to such a wonderful “aircraft”, the wind carries heavy grains over long distances. Then, when the wind subsides, they fall vertically to the ground, like a kind of "paratrooper pilots." But they do not get to the ground immediately, entangled in thick grass and rotted last year's leaves and stems. In the evening, when the dew falls, the seeds of the steppe feather grass are filled with moisture and the knee awn, in the form of a spiral, unwinds, lowering the caryopsis lower to the soil level. And when the seeds reach the ground, they enter it like a corkscrew with a sharp end. Then in the morning, when the sun rises and the dew comes down, the awn, drying up, will rotate in the other direction. But the caryopsis, thanks to the point, covered with many hard bristles that are bent in the opposite direction, firmly sat down in the ground and would not jump out. And the awn, continuing to unwind, breaks off and leaves the caryopsis in the ground, where it will lie until spring.

This steppe plant, feather grass, is called the most beautiful, because when the wind blows and it sways, falling to the ground, it seems that the steppe is covered with a huge silk cloth, shimmering with silver and golden tints. Such beautiful view the steppes give precisely the awns - flexible long, like thin wires, feathers that cover the plant. This property of it is even sung in folk songs, in which it is called "silk grass". In the lower part of the awn, thickened in the form of a spear, behind hard scales is the fruit of this plant in the form of a grain. When this grain ripens (usually in the summer in the second half of June), it breaks off together with the feather and is carried away by the wind.

Violet - Flower of the Empress Josephine and emblem of the Napoleonides.

According to one of the ancient Greek legends, violets were dropped to the ground by the daughter of Zeus, Persephone, when she was kidnapped by Pluto, the lord of the kingdom of the dead. That is why the Greeks considered the violet the flower of sorrow and death and strewn the deathbed of young girls with these flowers.

At the same time, the Greeks believed that violets represent reviving nature, are a symbol of spring.

The German poet Goethe, who loved violets, wanted them to grow in abundance around his hometown of Weimar, and therefore, walking in the suburbs, scattered their seeds. Soon all the surroundings of Weimar were buried in purple flowers. Violets grow there and still, they are called "Goethe's violets" in memory of the poet.

But more than others, the life of Josephine Beauharnais, the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, is connected with violets. When the young general Napoleon came to power, he imprisoned the supporters of the monarchy, General Beauharnais, and his wife Josephine.

Beauharnais was executed, and Josephine expected the same fate. One day she received a bunch of violets as a gift from the jailer's daughter. Josephine vowed that if she was lucky enough to get out of prison, she would devote her life to breeding violets. Flowers received from the hands of the jailer's daughter became for Josephine a symbol of life and happiness.

And, later, these flowers accompanied Josephine and Napoleon all their lives. And even after their death, violet played a special role in the life of their descendants.

coleus flowers ("Poor Croton", "Nettle", COLEUS)- these are small bushes, densely covered with large leaves similar to nettle leaves, but of the most diverse and bright color options. The coleus plant is valued by flower growers both for the richest choice of color combinations on variegated leaves, and for its rapid growth. Coleus is easy to care for and grow, planting is easy, and propagating is easy.

The coleus flower has many species and varieties, many of which are cultivated in home floriculture.

Photoshoot

The team of the MBDOU "Kindergarten No. 452 "Rodnichok" applied for participation in the regional environmental competition "Kindergarten - Blooming Garden". The organizer of the competition is the Nizhny Novgorod Regional Branch of the All-Russian Public Organization "All-Russian Society for the Conservation of Nature" together with the Ministry of Internal Regional and Municipal Policy of the Nizhny Novgorod region with the support of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

As part of the preparation of the institution for the summer health work in 2017, the project "Earth is our home" was implemented, dedicated to the year ecology in Russia.

At the entrance to the kindergarten, children, parents and guests are greeted by the kindergarten symbol Rodnichok with the emblem of the year of ecology (photo No. 1). Rodnichok represents a kindergarten on the model and invites you to walk along its paths, tourist routes and ecological paths, which were developed by the teachers of the institution.

The "House" is decorated with drawings of children - students of school No. Active participation in landscaping and kindergarten exhibitions. On the sides of the house in envelopes, children can find tasks on environmental topics and choose their own environmental route. The photo shows the interest with which the guys choose ecological paths along which they will travel today. And the guide tells about which centers (“Village Yard”, “Home Zoo”, “Green Friends” garden, etc.) they can visit.

The original landscape design is shown in photographs No. 2, 3. We see that there are flower beds, an alpine hill, flowerpots, flower beds, lawns, etc. on the territory. Plants are selected from different terms flowering, flower beds have a bright combination of colors and colors. They are neat and aesthetic.

For children on the territory of the kindergarten, favorable conditions have been created for a comfortable environment for the ecological development and recreation of children (photo No. 2). Throughout the entire period, children, together with adults, take care of the plants: they loosen, water, weed.

A vivid emotional response is observed in children when visiting the "Derevensky Dvorik" center (photo No. 3). Grandmother and grandfather meet the kids, introduce them to their friends - pets. Children learn a lot about how to take care of them.

One of the favorite places for children to visit is the alpine hill (photo No. 4). This is a beautiful corner where children can watch how the flowering of one plant is replaced by the flowering of another. This is a favorite place for good photos on the steps and in the arch of the slide.

Parents are the main social partners of the kindergarten. They are integral, active participants in the project. Parents take part in landscaping the kindergarten: they bring and deliver earth, sand, cut bushes, bring seedlings, seeds, seedlings; participate in various exhibitions, holidays, entertainment and promotions. Photo No. 5 shows the action "Christmas tree, grow!".

During the implementation of the project, the results were revealed: positive dynamics of the ecological development of children, increased sense of responsibility for the living world and nature, great interest in learning about the environment, children became more active, independent in the process of implementing the project. Children and parents take an active part in gardening and putting things in order and cleanliness in the territory, gain skills in working with the earth, plants, study the diversity of the animal and natural world, learn to take care of the environment.
