Project implementation:
Stage 1 - preparatory
– selected and studied methodological, scientific and fiction literature on the topic of the Project;
- selected didactic games of natural history content, aimed at the development of cognitive activity, the formation of the principles of ecological culture;
– adapted and systematized outdoor games aimed at the development of motor activity, attention and observation in nature;
– targeted walks around the territory of the kindergarten, an excursion to the “Summer Garden” of the city of Danilov was developed;
- conversations about flowers, compiling descriptive stories;
- looking at photographs and pictures of flowers;
- preparation of containers with earth, seeds.
Stage 2 - exploratory
In the kindergarten group, they examined and sowed seeds of garden flowers, signed containers with the names of plants. Sketched in a notebook of observations. Plant care and watering.
Reading fiction:
sayings, poems, fairy tales, riddles about flowers.
Children watched the growth of plants, conducted experiments, experiments. Sketched in a notebook of observations. They established connections: plants - earth, plants - water, plants - man. Conducted classes, didactic games, conversations.
Conversations:
- "What are the flowers?"
“How are flowers born?”
- "Primroses"
- “What should be a flower bed”
Why do flowers wither in autumn?
Experimental activities:
– Experience “Can a plant breathe?”
Target: Find out if the plant absorbs oxygen.
– Experience “How does a plant look for light?”
Target: Find out how light and shadow affect the plant.
- Experience "Influence of Sunlight on Plant Growth"
Target:determine the role of the sun in plant life.
2 containers with earth and sprouts (children water one container, loosen the earth, choose a sunny place, do not water the other, do not loosen the earth, put in a dark place)
– Experience “Plants “drink” water”
Target:prove that plants absorb water.
Put two bouquets of flowers in tinted water. After a while, the stems of the flowers will also be colored. Conclusion: plants "drink" water.
Observations:
- "Plants of our site." Inspection of the site, finding plants, determining their names.
“What kind of plants are they? » Inspection of plants in order to determine their structure (find the stem, leaves, flowers, roots). Comparison of different plants in height, shape, color of leaves, flowers, stems, smell.
“Who helps the plants grow?” Children discuss why the plants have grown. The purpose of all parts of the plant is determined: the root absorbs moisture and nutrients from the ground; the stem carries them to the leaves, flowers, seeds; leaves absorb light; flowers will then become seeds. Plants have grown because our site is a good “home” for them, in which there is nutritious soil, water, heat, and light. Flowers grow "help": the sun, rain, earth and people.
– "Should I collect seeds from wild plants?" Children find seeds of ripening grasses on the site (plantain, loach, etc., they establish that they themselves fall off, are carried by the wind, cling to clothes, animal hair, that seeds can be collected for winter feeding of birds.
- "We will collect the seeds of garden flowers" Inspection of flowers, identification of mature seeds, collecting them in boxes or bags. The teacher draws the attention of the children to the fact that there is only one flower, but there are many seeds. So, next year you can grow a lot of flowering plants.
Ecology games:
"Earth, water, fire, air"
The players stand in a circle, in the middle - the leader. He throws the ball to one of the players, while saying one of four words: earth, water, fire, air. If the driver said "land", the one who caught the ball must quickly name the one who lives in this environment; the player answers the word “water” with the name of fish, the word air with the name of birds. At the word “fire,” everyone should quickly turn around several times, waving their hands. Then the ball is returned to the driver. Whoever makes a mistake is eliminated from the games, “settle” at home, showing the card to the teacher.
What plant is missing? »
Four or five plants are placed on the table. Children remember them. The teacher invites the children to close their eyes and removes one of the plants. Children open their eyes and remember which plant was still standing. The game is played 4-5 times. You can increase the number of plants on the table each time.
Stage 3 - final

Amazing bouquet for the planet Earth
Sl.1 header
Sl.2 2017 can rightfully bear the title of the most natural year, since all the events taking place will be dedicated to nature. Man is somehow connected with nature. Although with the development of cities they began to forget about it, however, all the events of 2017 will remind the ecology of this...
We all have one planet -
There is no other like it in the world!
Don't destroy the Earth, people!
We will not have another Earth!
Transport, factories, factories
Poison the air, poison the water.
If we destroy the earth,
Where do we live, tell me, will we?
Loving the earth in words
Man, start with yourself!
Do not throw garbage on the Earth:
You yourself said: Earth is our mother!
Animals, trees, herbs -
All were born from Mother Earth.
And everyone has the right to life
Just like you and me!
If you are not an enemy:
The earth will live without us
And we can't do without her!
Let everyone understand this
Sl. 3 Human! Created terrible poisons that kill insects and animals.
Sl.4 Human! He created cars, plants and factories that poison the air with harmful substances.
Sl. 5 Human! Covers the Earth with a huge layer of garbage.
Sl.6 Human! Contaminated the earth with sediment!
Sl.7 People! Come to your senses! Take care of your native nature!
Sl.8 Millions of years working for the good,
Giving life to everyone around.
And while Planet Earth spinning
Will serve humanity!
Trouble may fall from space
And life on the planet will be interrupted then.
Like a crystal ball, the planet is fragile.
Keep it, good God's hand!
Sl.9 Slowly spinning in space, the blue planet Earth remains the most beautiful planet in the solar system. Most often, the Earth talks with the red-faced Mars, its closest neighbor in time and space.
EARTH : A long time ago, bipedal beings arrived in spaceships from another galaxy. Not only did people - as they called themselves - ruthlessly burned and cut down forests, exterminated thousands of species of animals, polluted the seas and rivers, poisoned the air, they also exploded bombs, trying to push me out of orbit.
MARS : I am familiar with this. I was the same as you, with a blue atmosphere. dense forests girded me, strange animals ran on the lawns, clear water flowed through the canals. And then spaceships with three-legged creatures also flew from the constellation Pleiades. And for thousands of years they brought me to the same state in which you are now.
EARTH: Tell me how did you get rid of them?
MARS: In a nuclear war, they killed each other, but my atmosphere was destroyed, and I turned into a lifeless red planet. Maybe you can help get rid of your problems? Let me send you a giant meteorite.
EARTH (thoughtfully): It’s not worth it yet, I still have friends: they are scientists, environmentalists, writers who write about me with love.
DC 10 And today, in honor of the Year of Ecology, we will give the Earth unusual bouquet. Unusual, because it will be a bouquet of flowers from the legends.
Bouquets are different. It can be: bouquets of flowers, words, moods, or even a bouquet of sharpened pencils. They are everywhere and always colorful. We just don't notice them sometimes.
After all, as Andersen wrote in his fairy tale "Thumbelina": "To live, you need the sun, freedom and small flower»
And stays with us
Everything related to flowers
They dissolved the colors of the stars,
And the world of love without pain and tears!
… and it will also be a bouquet of our words ... that we love our planet very much, and we will keep it clean, beautiful and fragrant!
We are talking about
That the whole Earth is our common home -
Our good house, spacious house,
We all live in it from birth.
Also, we are talking about
That we must protect our home!
***
In flowers - the soul, and life, and inspiration,
They are the source of victories and joy!
Accept, as a sign of love and respect,
Flowers from us and this bouquet.
Sl.11 Legends and myths about flowers.
Flowers - poems of the earth ...
Is it possible better
Can you tell me about this earthly beauty?
d.12 A long time ago, when life was just beginning on earth and everything around was covered with snow.
One snowflake, they say, as if risked turning into a flower in order to warm the earth with its warmth.
There was no one else to do it. And she became a flower - a snowdrop, and the delicate flower warmed the earth, and life appeared on it.
There are many legends and legends about flowers. How did the legends about flowers, plants and herbs come about? Why are some plants attributed supernatural properties? The amazing features of plants are one of the main reasons for the emergence of legends and fairy tales. Each flower had its own story, and very ancient history turned into a legend...
Sl.13 Snowdrop. Snowdrops have medicinal properties and can be used to treat diseases of the nervous system, joint inflammation and muscle pathology.
That's what a legend, and not even a legend, but quite real story associated with snowdrops and CatherineII.
Case described by Otto von Bismarck. During his visit to Russia, while walking through the Summer Garden, he noticed that a sentry was guarding a completely empty place. No one could explain the strange tradition, except for the old minister. He said that once, even under his father, Ekaterina II seeing the first snowdrop on the lawn summer garden, put a sentry to guard the spring miracle. The snowdrop faded, but the soldiers continued to fulfill the imperial decree for many more years! ..
Sl.14 Snowdrops, snowdrops
Forest colored days
Green candlesticks
And white lights...
d.15 The water lily is the queen of the waters.
This plant is indicated for headaches and swellings. Water lily root in the form of a decoction will help get rid of diarrhea, as well as relieve pain in the bladder. A healing decoction of flowers is prescribed for insomnia and jaundice. A unique wine tincture from the roots of the plant relieves severe lacrimation and abundant purulent discharge. The water lily is also effective in severe neurosis, neuralgia and rheumatism. It should also be noted that this plant has a powerful antipyretic effect.
The white water lily is protected by law, as there are very few of them left in the reservoirs of rivers and lakes.
The Italian legend tells that water lilies are the children of the beautiful blond Countess Melinda and the ugly, terrible swamp king who kidnapped her.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful Melinda. And the swamp king followed her all the time. The king's eyes twinkled as he looked at beautiful girl, and although he was scary as hell, he nevertheless became Melinda's husband, and a yellow egg-cap, which has long symbolized treason and deceit, helped him get the beauty. Walking with her friends by the swampy lake, Melinda admired the golden floating flowers, reached for one of them, stepped on the coastal stump, in which the lord of the bog hid, and he carried the girl to the bottom. At the place of her death, snow-white flowers with a yellow core surfaced. These flowers turned out to be water lilies.
Sl.16 She straightened her petals languidly.
And suddenly your flowers began to play,
The queen of the waters is a beautiful water lily.
Sl.17 Iris. The world's first irises appeared on earth more than one million years ago. The amazing beauty of this plant attracted not only birds and animals, but also the elements - water and wind, which carried the seeds of a beautiful flower all over the planet. And the image of a blooming iris flaunts on the Florentine coat of arms.
Essential oil is obtained from iris flowers, which is extremely highly valued and used in the manufacture of cosmetics and perfumery products.
The inhabitants of Armenia often use iris petals when preparing a very tasty and healthy jam. Dried toffee seeds can be added to make a drink that can replace coffee. Dried orris root is actively used in folk medicine. The benefits of iris in this case are due to its effective expectorant, blood-purifying and diuretic effects.
The name of this flower is associated with the name of Irida, the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology. The flower has leaves that are flat like swords, and therefore the Germans call it the sword-lily, and the Russians for its beauty gave it the tender name "killer whale". When the titan Prometheus stole heavenly fire on Olympus and gave it to people, a rainbow flared up on earth with a wonderful seven-color rainbow - so great was the joy of all life in the world. Already the sunset has faded, and the day has faded, and the sun has gone, and the rainbow - it still shone over the world, giving people hope. It did not go out until dawn, and when the sun returned to its place in the morning, where the magic rainbow burned and shimmered with colors, irises bloomed ...
Here it is, this rainbow flower, given by Prometheus to mankind along with fire.
Sl.18 Slim shadows, strange shadows,
blue, fragrant,
Illuminated by moonlight,
Pure iris flowers.
Sl.19 Lilies of the valley. This flower is the most fragrant, the most mysterious. Be careful, because lily of the valley is a poisonous plant, its fruits can cause poisoning.
You can not eat the flowers and fruits of the lily of the valley, as this will lead to poisoning, which means that nausea, tinnitus, vomiting will appear, the heartbeat will become very frequent, etc. In case of poisoning, gastric lavage should be done immediately.
Lily of the valley preparations should be taken only as prescribed by a doctor and under his supervision. It is found in the Crimea, Siberia, the Caucasus and the Far East. Lily of the valley - a plant listed in the Red Book!
Lily of the valley contains many glycosides that have a positive effect on the heart. Lily of the valley lowers blood pressure, thanks to it, cardiac edema decreases and even disappears. Lily of the valley preparations have a sedative property. The plant is used for heart defects, pain in the abdomen, fever and colic in the abdomen. Medicinal raw material is the aerial part of the lily of the valley.
According to an old Russian legend, the sea princess Volkhova fell in love with Sadko, and he gave his heart to the favorite of the fields and forests, Lyubava. Saddened Volkhova went ashore and began to cry. And where the tears of the princess fell, flowers grew - a symbol of purity, love and sadness.
DC 20 In the legends, the lily of the valley is a symbol of sadness,
Sad suffering, thoughts at night.
Where the girl's tears fell
Lily of the valley bloomed, not bright roses.
Sl.21 Poppy. Poppy is widely used in folk medicine. With the help of a decoction of the roots of the plant, you can eliminate the headache and cure inflammation of the sciatic nerve. In ancient times, healers prepared sleeping pills from the seeds of the fruit, which helped to relieve fatigue well. On the basis of poppy, many medicines with a wide spectrum of action are made:
Hypnotic, analgesic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, expectorant, oncological.
Poppy is extremely useful for the human body. Our grandmothers knew about the benefits of poppy, mixing it with honey and treating their grandchildren with this delicacy, they helped their children grow up strong and healthy. So they struggled with the hyperactivity of babies, protected from diseases and evil spirits. Grandmothers knew the measure, knew its sacred properties. Only those who abuse its properties receive harm from the poppy. The harm of poppy applies only to those who use its narcotic properties, preventing everyone else from receiving from the plant the healing power of its capabilities given to poppy by nature.
In our time, it is impossible to plant poppies, since 2004 there has been a ban on poppy cultivation. Moreover, you can not bring it as a raw material from abroad
The legend says that the goddess Flora created a poppy to somehow please a lonely and sad night.
When the Lord created the earth, animals and plants, everyone was happy, except for the Night. No matter how hard she tried to dispel her deep darkness with the help of stars and luminous bugs, she hid too many beauties of nature, which pushed everyone away from her. Then the Lord created Sleep, dreams and dreams, and together with the Night they became welcome guests. Over time, passions awakened in people, one of the people even planned to kill his brother. Sleep wanted to stop him, but the sins of this man prevented him from approaching. Then the Dream, in anger, stuck his magic wand into the ground, and the Night breathed life into it. The wand took root, turned green, and, retaining its sleep-inducing power, became a poppy.
And the life of a flower is less than two days. This is a magical mystery flower that symbolizes both the beauty of life and the horror of death. A scarlet star that blossomed in the world to separate good and evil.
Sl. 22 I inhaled the intoxicating aroma
And drowned headlong in scarlet poppies,
On the petals reading at random
Mysterious fire signs.
Sl.23 Lilac is a messenger of hope.
In folk medicine, lilac flowers were brewed as tea, they drank such tea for colds, pulmonary tuberculosis, kidney stones, flu, cough, diarrhea, they drank lilac tea at elevated body temperature, since lilac has diaphoretic and antipyretic properties. Lilac also contributes to the discharge of sand, stones in urolithiasis.
…The god of forests and fields, Pan, was ugly from birth - horned and bearded, and even with goat hooves. But, as they say, you can't command your heart. The young pan fell in love with the forest nymph Syringa, as beautiful as a May morning. Pan wandered everywhere, chasing the beauty. Once he saw Syringa from a distance in a dense forest and wanted to catch up with her. Then the nymph prayed to Artemis in horror: "Save me from shame!" She turned the nymph into a fragrant lilac bush that blooms every spring. And the inconsolable pan broke off a lilac branch, made a flute (syrinx) out of it, and never parted with it. When, in the hours of quiet sadness or wild fun, Pan began to play the flute, the birds fell silent in the forest, and the breeze died down in the field. And it seemed that at that moment one could hear the quivering breath of the earth itself, when it is pure, tender, still virgin, waking up under the rays of the sun.
Sl. 24 How festively the garden blossomed lilac
Lilac, white.
Today is a special - lilac day,
Beginning of blooming summer.
DC 25 Hyacinth. Dried hyacinth petals are sewn into gauze bags and put underwear for aromatization. It is known that the smell of hyacinth drives away depression, improves the functioning of the nervous system, and relieves insomnia. Our great-grandmothers ground dry hyacinth petals into powder, set fire to it and fumigated the room to get rid of mosquitoes, which immediately disappeared. Cockroaches don't like hyacinth smoke either. Hyacinth has anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, bactericidal, astringent, antiseptic and soothing properties. From its flowers and leaves, an essential oil is obtained, which is added to perfumes and creams. Hyacinth cleanses and rejuvenates the skin.
Once, a Genoese ship sank in a storm off the coast of Holland. Its wreckage washed ashore. And, a few weeks later, the children playing on the sandbar noticed a flower that had never been seen before almost at the very edge of the surf. It had the same leaves as a tulip, only the stem was completely planted with many beautiful flowers, similar to small lilies. The flowers smelled unusually, and no one could understand where such an outlandish miracle came from.
Flowers accidentally brought to Holland by the sea began to be called hyacinths, which is translated as “flower of the rains”, apparently because the flowering of hyacinths fell on the rainy season. Hyacinth was also considered a symbol of dying and resurrecting nature, because, withering, a beautiful flower was reborn a few months later. Hyacinth is a flower of love, happiness, fidelity and ... sorrow.
Sl.26 Oh Hyacinth!
In the spring you decorate the vaults of the sky,
And in Greece you
Symbol of the rebirth of nature
Sl.27 Aster. A star that fell from the sky. All parts of the plant are taken for treatment. Due to the content of biologically active components - flavonoids, coumarin, saponin - astra has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties, is able to prevent the action of pathogenic microorganisms, is considered a powerful mucolytic agent. Astra recipes are also used for pulmonary tuberculosis, but only as an additional treatment. Some types of plants can be used in the treatment of the digestive tract. Astra is taken externally for the treatment of certain skin diseases, sometimes it helps with mild vision pathologies.
The Oneida Indians tell such a legend about this flower. The young hunter fell in love with the girl, but she remained indifferent to him.
– If I knock down a star from the sky, will you be mine? he asked the proud beauty. No one else from the tribe could make the bride happy with such a gift, and the girl, thinking that the hunter was just a braggart, agreed. When the Indians from the neighboring wigwams found out about this, they began to laugh at the young man. But the hunter stood his ground.
– come to the big meadow in the evening,” he said.
When bright stars flashed in the evening in the sky, all the men from the Oneida tribe gathered to see if the young hunter could fulfill his promise. The young man raised his bow, pulled the string and sent an arrow up. And a moment later, high in the sky, a silver star shattered into small sparks - it was struck by a well-aimed arrow of a hunter. Only the desired happiness bypassed the young man. God got angry at a mere mortal who dared to shoot down the stars from the sky. After all, if other lovers follow his example, then there will be no stars left in the sky at all, and the moon is unlikely to survive ... He sent a terrible storm to the earth. For three days and three nights a fierce hurricane raged. Everything on earth was shrouded in thick darkness. The sea overflowed its shores, and where there used to be an ocean, land was formed ... When the storm subsided, no one could find the daredevil who knocked a star from the sky. He turned into a small flower, which the Indians gave the name "shooting star."
Sl.28 The sun in the sky was surprised:
What a miracle happened
Maybe the stars were lit?
The asters are blooming!
Sl.29 Rose is the queen of flowers. According to archaeological data, the rose has existed on Earth for about 25 million years.
And finally, one more legend - the riddle of the rose.
Once, in the evening, a prince was walking in a palace park. He was surprised when he met a very beautiful stranger. They walked in the park all night, but at dawn she told him that she had to leave because she was a princess who had been turned into a rose by an evil sorcerer. Only for one summer night she becomes a girl again. There is only one way to disenchant it - from the first attempt to recognize it among thousands of other roses. If the choice is wrong, the girl will die. The princess disappeared, and the prince, with the first rays of the sun, went to that part of the park where hundreds of roses grew and immediately found her. The question is, how did he recognize her? Answer: there was no dew on it ...
Sl. thirty Roses came to the Russian land to bloom in our gardens.
Aromas, color, exotic they brought with them
Young and old are delighted with unearthly beauty.
They seem to be updated every day and every hour,
These roses, like sorceresses, fascinate us.
Since ancient times, they have been considered an ornament of the earth,
Only angels could create such charms.
Sl.31 Why are flowers needed?
First, aesthetic;
Second, air purification;
Thirdly, the improvement of the human body;
Fourth, they have a beneficial effect on the emotional and psychological background
Many people of all countries and peoples are accustomed to believe that flowers are one of the eternal symbols of goodness.
Flowers are life, beauty. Perhaps all nature is a mosaic of flowers? Perhaps all nature is a desire for beauty? (Konstantin Balmont ).
Flowers accompany us throughout our lives.
Flowers help a person: they heal, predict the weather, specify the time ... The famous Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus (XVIII century) for a long time surprised his acquaintances by the fact that, without looking at his watch, he always called exact time. The key to the trick is that a flower clock "grew" under Carl Linnaeus's window! The watch dial was divided into a number of sectors, in each of which a strictly defined type of plant was planted, selected according to the time of its opening. During sunny day the botanical clock ran unerringly: every hour one plant opened its flowers, and then another, and so on until dusk.
Another property of flowers is known: they are included in the menu. There are many flower-bearing peoples in the world!
Sl.32 They say that a person should raise a son in his life, build a house, plant a tree...
Sl.33 And if everyone plants and grows at least one flower, the earth will turn into a beautiful garden...
Sl.34 And finally, one parable for you ... The fly and the bee.
Sl.35 Once a mosquito asked a fly:
– Are there flowers in the neighborhood?
– I don’t know anything about flowers, the fly answered him. - But there are plenty of cans, manure, sewage in the ditches.
And the fly began to list to the mosquito all the surrounding garbage dumps, which he definitely needs to visit.
Sl.36 A mosquito flew in the indicated direction and met a bee along the way.
Have you seen any garbage cans in the area? he asked her.
– Dumps? Impurities? No, I haven’t seen it anywhere, - the bee was surprised. “But there are so many fragrant flowers everywhere.
Sl.37 Appreciate and take care of the nature around you.
I love this colorful world
The sky is starry, the winds are gentle.
Maybe I'll be funny
Singing the boundless fields.
I look to the sky when
A clear heart is filled with happiness.
Even if trouble bends
Rise to find beauty.
I want it to be better
Today is a mysterious moment.
Everyone to discover for themselves
Bright joy, the only way.
From above to rain.
The most iridescent, the most affectionate.
How good is this world.
It is painted with earth colors.

Justification of the need to develop an environmental project
"Flowers Around Us"
Planet Earth is our common home, every person living in it should carefully and carefully treat it, preserving all its values and wealth.
Kindergarten today is educational institution providing sports and recreation, cognitive - speech, artistic - aesthetic, social and personal development of children. Education in preschoolers of a conscious - careful attitude to the natural world, a sense of mutual assistance, co-creation, innovative approaches to the environmental education of preschoolers. Federal state requirements for the structure of the main general education program establish the fundamental principle of the integration of educational areas. If we talk about a fundamentally new in the content of preschool education, then this is the obligation of its compliance with the principles stated in the FGT. Therefore, the project is basedintegrated approach,suggesting the relationship of research activities, music, fine arts, physical culture, games, theatrical activities, literature, modeling, i.e. greening various kinds activities child
The environmentally oriented direction can be singled out separately, and at the same time it is integrated into each of the above directions, as it has a huge impact on intellectual, creative and moral education, which forms a modern educated person. landscaping - unique opportunity for children and parents to prove themselves, to benefit the natural environment of their native land. environmental education- one of the main directions in the education system, it is a way of influencing the feelings of children, their consciousness, views and ideas. Children feel the need to communicate with nature. They learn to love nature, observe, empathize, understand that our Earth cannot exist without plants, as they not only help us breathe, but also treat diseases. Flowers are not only beauty, but also part of wildlife. Most effective method implementation of the tasks of environmental education is an organization project activities.
Everything good in people comes from childhood!
How to awaken the origins of goodness? Touch nature with all your heart:
Surprise, learn, love!
We want the earth to flourish
And grew like flowers, kids, So that for them the ecology would become
Not science, but part of the soul!
Project relevance
Familiarization of preschoolers with nature is one of the most important tasks in working with children. At the same time, it is very important that the knowledge gained is not presented in isolation, without reference to the whole complex of phenomena surrounding the subject of study. Children should always see the connection separate species With environment, its effect on this environment, they must understand that plants depend on each other and on the environment.
Environmental education is one of the main directions in the education system, it is a way of influencing the feelings of children, their consciousness, views and ideas.

Flowers are not only beauty, but also a part of wildlife that must be protected and protected, and, of course, known. To know the structure of a flower, its appearance, features, healing properties.
Flowers are life itself.
How poor we would be if there were no flowers on earth. When introducing children to nature, we, adults, strive to give an example of a humane attitude towards all living things, so that the child understands that each object has its own place in nature and its purpose. Everyone can pick a flower, but not everyone can say which flower they picked.
Considering that children need "live" communication with nature, observation and Practical activities in nature, a cognitive-research- creative project Flowers around us.

Ecological style or in a simple way eco garden is not only the cultivation of organic tomatoes, cucumbers and greens in accordance with the principles of organic farming. This is also a direction in garden design, where well-chosen ecological compositions are built that imitate the natural landscape of the area where the garden plot is located. Let's see if it is so difficult to create an ecological garden, and what combinations of plants are the most advantageous in its design.
Ecological style in the garden
Ecological style canons suggest that the most natural connections between plants should be built in the garden. To select plants, it is desirable to study in detail the flora located near the site, and try to build a landscape that coincides with this nature.
An eco-garden rarely includes exotic plants. But this does not mean that they should be completely eliminated. Just by planting exotics, you should be prepared for the fact that they will require more attention in care. But it is better not to make too bright groups of these plants, because halftones are important in natural compositions.
In general, the essence of the ecological style is that all plantings should be grouped according to their natural niches: sun-loving plants should not fall into the shade, moisture-loving plants should not fall into dry places, and so on (you can see details about the selection of plants according to their requirements).
By correctly fulfilling the requirements for light, acidity, soil composition and humidity, you will achieve the effect of naturalness in an ecological garden. After all, the plants will look great without unnecessary intervention on your part - they will not need top dressing, alkalization, wind protection, and so on.
Decorative elements in the ecogarden
To achieve a natural feel in the garden, try to avoid symmetrically placed objects, whether plantings, paths, stones or streams. Pavement coatings should be soft, closer to natural colors. It is advisable to build them in smooth lines, too straight paths are more suitable for a formal garden.
Small ponds are appropriate in such gardens, and although mosquitoes will certainly appear in them, their numbers will be regulated by dragonflies and water striders. And if castor beans are planted somewhere near the pond, then the detachment of mosquitoes will be even smaller, or will not appear at all. Castor oil is a very beautiful and useful attribute of the coastal zone.
Boulders are good in the ecological garden, they create platforms where lizards bask in the sun. These are wonderful helpers that regulate the number of slugs. Also, stones collect condensate during night and day air temperature fluctuations, there is always more moisture under them.
Successful ecological compositions in the eco garden
ornamental cereals
Compositions from ornamental cereals and herbs look very advantageous for ecologically oriented gardens. Look in nature: on the edges, where there is a lot of light, it is the grasses that create juicy harmonious groups. Miscanthus, feather-bristle, millet, sedge, feather grass, and emperor are appropriate here. And how beautiful is hakonehloya? Transitions between groups can be filled with garden geranium, yarrow, St. John's wort, drop cap, oregano, mint, catnip, thyme.
ferns
It is, of course, impossible to create an imitation of the Jurassic Park in our region. But there is always a deaf shadow in the garden, whether it is the north side of a deaf fence, or the area near the walls of the house. With proper moisture from ferns different types you can create a completely unique jungle. You can dilute such a set with hosts, astilbes, and even rhododendrons. By the way, it’s good to layer fruits with fern fronds when laying apples and pears for winter storage.
Conifers and heath
Conifers are beautiful and in demand in the eco garden. They create the texture of the garden even in winter. Phytoncides secreted by needles are also useful, which successfully suppress pathogenic bacteria, and even repel many pests. From conifers with different colors of needles, you can create very natural compositions that resemble a mountain landscape.
In small gardens, mountain pine, dwarf spruce, juniper, cypress are usually combined. The planting area is mulched with pine bark, and since the conifers acidify the soil, such compositions are infused with erica, heather. You can also include rhododendrons, hydrangeas and even tall blueberries - they are tasty and surprisingly decorative. By the way, pine needles, scattered between strawberry bushes, improve the taste of berries.
In general, building an Eco-style garden is a very interesting undertaking, it makes you look closely at the nuances of plant growth, notice a lot. For example, we used to buy flea drops and oils for our dogs, often smeared them on the withers. Now such an environment has been created and maintained in the garden that these bloodsuckers are no more. And all this thanks to the selection of plants and the use of natural fertilizers and repellents.
The topic is large, and only three types of competent compositions are affected here, which can be safely used when laying an ecological garden. But there are much more of them in the ecogarden - this is the creation of hedges, planting herbs, growing mycelium, so we publish further continuation this topic. Stay with us and share your experience in the comments.
