Flower beds are the most beautiful. Making flower beds with your own hands in the kindergarten of the Club in the garden for flowers with your own hands

One of the mandatory attributes of the territory of the kindergarten is a beautifully designed flower bed with planted flowers and deciduous plants. In the process of creating an original flower garden, the tips proposed in this article will help employees.

Choosing a place for a flower bed

First of all, you need to choose the right place to place the flower garden. The site should be sufficiently lit, but at the same time covered from direct, directed rays of the sun.

It's no secret that many plants need heavy watering, especially during the hot summer months. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure regular watering flower beds.

Flower bed shape

The shape of the flower bed can be any - it depends on the general concept of the design of the territory. Most often you can find flower beds of a round or oval shape, as well as in the form of rectangular sections.

It is possible to plant small oblong strips near the kindergarten building itself. If at the same time to use additional elements decor, you can create original flower beds of small size, easy to care for, but very elegant.

decorative elements

In the process of designing a flower bed in a kindergarten, you can use various decorative elements:

• colored gravel- will help to visually structure the space of the flower bed and create a planned composition.

• smooth stones to create interesting compositions and delimitation of space on a large flower garden.
• Remains of building materials- it can be halves of white or red, ceramic tiles and much more.

• Wooden fence - often it is made of a small height, and it only separates from the rest of the space of the site. As a rule, such a flower garden fence in kindergarten is painted in bright colors.
• garden decor — interesting elements garden decor are sold in many hardware stores and flower shops. Funny gnomes and animal figurines will be a real highlight of the flowerbed design in kindergarten.

• Kids toys- can also be used as additional decorative elements. However, they should be used in small quantities, because the center of the composition in the flower bed should still be flowers and plants.

• improvised materials- if you show your imagination to the maximum, then even with the help of ordinary plastic bottles you can create a real miracle.

Thus, with the help of a small amount of improvised materials, you can create an original flower bed, on which you can later plant plants and flowers.

Traditionally, the following forms of planting are used to decorate the site: flower beds, flower beds, alpine slides, rockeries, borders, mixborders, single-standing plants (tapeworms, hedges. Borders usually consist of several tiers of perennial plants different heights. They look beautiful against the background of walls, trimmed hedges. On the territory of the kindergarten, it is important to provide a system of convenient paths that will allow children to approach flower beds, alpine slides, etc. Paths can be sprinkled with sand, painted wood chips, laid out with stone, tiles. The spaces between the tiles can, for example, be filled with undersized plants.

Description of the slide:

A variety of flower beds make the territory of the preschool educational institution attractive, somewhat reminiscent of a recreation park. Flower beds are often irregular in shape. Usually, the tallest perennials are grown in the center of the flower garden; towards its edges, the height of the plants decreases. Experts believe that a large number of correct forms on the site creates an unpleasant impression. The monotony of the lawn is broken by free-standing beautiful plants. They are also called solitaires. And free-standing vases with flowers break the monotony of a wall or path. A variety of things are used as flowerpots - old pots, barrels, carts, stumps. Annuals or annuals are usually planted in such flowerpots. bulbous plants, or some individual large plants. In the fall, they can be brought indoors.

For a flower garden, it is necessary to select plants that could bloom from early spring to late autumn. Continuous flowering brings joy to children, allows you to admire and care for plants long time. Plants should be unpretentious, i.e., do not require complex care. In order for these conditions to be met, annual, biennial and perennial plants should be selected for the flower garden. Annual plants grow, bloom, produce mature seeds and die off in the year of sowing (marigold, petunia, fragrant tobacco, kosmeya, lobelia, poppy, nasturtium, calendula, snapdragon, etc.). Biennial plants when sown (spring, summer) winter in the ground and bloom in early spring next year. These include pansies (viola), Turkish carnation, daisy, forget-me-not, etc.

The flowers are small, white, blue, purple, collected in a dense inflorescence - a brush. Blooms in May - June. Muscari can be planted under trees and low shrubs, as well as in rockeries. Care consists in watering, careful loosening. Autumn and spring cleaning of the leaves should be carried out carefully, do not remove the foliage from the plants, so as not to disturb the ecological environment. Tulip (lily family) and daffodil (Amarillis family) can be grown in separate groups or in combination with other bulbs. They bloom from late April to late May. Narcissus should be transplanted once every 3-4 years. Tulip bulbs are dug up after the plants have faded and the leaves have turned yellow, dried well, and then, in September, they are planted again in the ground (in a permanent place) to a depth of three bulb heights.

Flower garden layout When planning a flower garden, you need to maximize the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe site, leaving room for free activities for children: games, observations, entertainment, sports. When laying out a flower garden, one should take into account its importance in the aesthetic education of children: think over a combination of plants by color, decorative placement in space. There are various types of plantings of ornamental flowering plants, many of which can be used in landscaping areas of kindergartens. Flowering plants are best placed in decorative groups along the paths leading to the kindergarten building, to group plots. Borders are broken along the paths - framed strips - 30-50 cm wide and discounts.

Nature leaves a deep imprint in the soul of the child, influencing his feelings with its brightness, diversity, dynamism.

It seems to the child that he is a discoverer, that he was the first to hear the chirping of a grasshopper, to see that snow is a lot of beautiful snowflakes, a starling sings for him. So for the first time children perceive nature, are drawn to it, it excites their curiosity.

Preschoolers look at the world around them with great interest, but they don’t see everything, sometimes they don’t even notice the main thing. And if there is a teacher nearby who is surprised with them, teaches not only to look, but also to see, the children will want to learn even more.

The program of environmental education and training in kindergarten provides for the familiarization of preschoolers with the outside world, nature, starting from junior group. Walking with children provides great opportunities for this. At each of them, the guys consolidate previously acquired knowledge and get acquainted with something new.

Walks will be joyful, interesting, informative, and will achieve the goal, provided that the teacher, using visual material, is able to supplement and enrich the knowledge of the children. If there is a good site, a kindergarten can organize "ecological spaces" on its territory.

In addition, the educator must not only give certain knowledge, but also teach children to love and protect nature, their native places, their homeland.

Chapter 1

1.1. Organization of an ecological-developing environment in a preschool educational institution.

The most favorable period for solving the problems of environmental education is preschool age. Since during this period the formation of the qualities of the human personality takes place, the foundations of ecological culture are laid. It is necessary to lay in children the idea that a person needs an ecological cleanliness of the environment. Therefore, it is important to teach children to preserve the beauty of nature so that they understand early enough how valuable health is and strive for healthy lifestyle life. An important factor in the formation of the ecological consciousness of children is proper organization ecological - developing environment in the preschool educational institution.

An ecological developmental environment is an important condition for the ecological education of preschool children. Organized in accordance with pedagogical and sanitary and hygienic requirements, such an environment performs many functions (developing, adaptive, health-improving, corrective, educational, cognitive, practical-oriented, etc.), it provides constant communication with nature, contributes to the education of the foundations of ecological culture, the formation of environmentally appropriate behavior, ecologization various kinds activities.

Nature with its unusual variety of phenomena, animals and plants makes a strong impression on children. direct communication with nature gives the child more vivid ideas than books, pictures and stories of adults. The variety of flora and fauna on the site of the kindergarten, the organization of the natural zone in the premises of the preschool institution, which is correct from an ecological point of view, constitute a developing ecological environment necessary for raising children, in which adults, by personal example, demonstrate to children the correct attitude towards nature and actively participate with children in environmental activities.

In the process of environmental education, the following activities can take place:

• role-playing game that reflects various events in nature or nature-creating activities of adults;
• practical activities to create or maintain conditions for living objects in the green zone of the kindergarten (labor in nature), as well as activities to restore objects (repair toys, books, etc.);
  creation of art products based on impressions of nature or human activities in nature;
• communication with nature, voluntary contact with objects of flora and fauna - complex activity, including observation, one-sided value judgments, admiring, caressing, caregiving, taming and training (animals);
• experimentation: practical cognitive activity with objects of nature, accompanied by observation, statements. Experimenting with living objects is a positive activity only if the search actions are carried out taking into account the needs of a living being and are not destructive;
• speech activity (questions, messages, participation in a conversation, dialogue, exchange of information, impressions, clarification of ideas about nature with the help of a word);
• observation - an independent cognitive activity, provides information about the nature and activities of people in nature;
• viewing books, paintings, television programs of natural history content is an activity that contributes to obtaining new and clarifying existing ideas about nature.

Observation of the independence of children, analysis of its content allow the educator to discover their individual characteristics, the level of environmental education.

A variety of activities naturally connect environmental education with the entire process of personality development of a small child.

Children get acquainted with specific types of trees, shrubs, cultivated and wild herbaceous plants, plants in the garden, vegetable garden, know their names, characteristics, structural features (root, trunk, stem, branches, leaves, flowers, seeds) and the purpose of all organs. Learn that all plants are living things. For life, growth, maturation of seeds, they must maintain their integrity, they need certain conditions: heat, light, moisture, nutritious soil, air. These conditions are available on the site of the kindergarten, so the plants grow there. Weather all year round are not the same - they change with the seasons. Plants have adapted to live in changing conditions. A person in difficult moments helps the plants of the site, improves their living conditions; digs trees and shrubs, waters lawns in drought, fertilizes the soil, warms some plants for the winter.

Children develop a cognitive interest in the plants of the site: they willingly participate in collective observations, conversations, in filling out nature calendars, take the initiative in learning about plants - they ask questions, observe on their own, make assumptions, talk about what they see.

An emotional response and artistic perception of the beauty of plants develop at different periods of their life and under different conditions: delicate greenery in spring, lush herbs and a rainbow of flowers in summer, peace of snow-covered trees and bushes in winter, colorful autumn wilting, etc. Children learn to associate the beauty of plants with their well-being (satisfaction of needs) and good living conditions. They learn to perceive plants as living beings, to sympathize with them, to protect their integrity. They show willingness to participate in practical activities to maintain good conditions for plants (watering, digging the ground, etc.).

1.2 The role of the flower garden in educational work with children

The main elements of the ecological development environment in preschool institutions are considered to be a corner of nature and green areas on the site. However, each of these forms should correspond to the goals and objectives of environmental education, contribute to the implementation of all components of the content of environmental education: cognitive, activity, value, normative.

A properly planned and well-landscaped area is one of the most important conditions for organizing work with children in their environmental education. Of particular importance is a good site in a city kindergarten, since it is often the only place for children to communicate with nature for a long time.

At the kindergarten site, the teacher organizes daily observation of nature, during which children learn a lot about the life of plants and animals, admire the beauty of nature in all seasons. The vivid impressions that children get from communicating with nature remain in their memory for a long time, contribute to the formation of love for nature, (natural) interest in the world around them. Children of all age groups have the opportunity to work on the site, in the flower garden. In the process labor activity children develop certain labor skills and abilities. At the same time, they learn what conditions must be created for the normal life of animals and plants, acquire the necessary skills and abilities, learn to treat nature with care and concern.

In the flower garden during school year educators with children grow different plants. This provides favorable conditions to conduct interesting, ecologically significant observations. The relationship of a plant with the environment in the process of its ontogenetic (individual) development throughout the period of existence is not the same - it changes significantly at different stages of its growth and development. This circumstance makes it possible for the educator to trace these phenomena with the children using the examples of certain plants.

To expand the knowledge about nature acquired by young children, to consolidate and deepen interest and love for nature, they begin in the first younger group.

At this age, in the flower garden, the teacher examines the plants with the children, draws attention to their various colors, shape and size: phloxes are high, white, pink, and marigolds are low, yellow, orange. For a better perception by children of younger groups, plants of the same name and of the same color should be planted in a flower bed: for example, plant only white daffodils or only red daisies.

From the age of two, children are taught to respect nature. For example: “How nice it is in our garden, there are a lot of beautiful flowers! We will not tear them, we will pour them with water so that it becomes even better in our garden.”

To consolidate the knowledge gained in children, you can play games with children such as “Show the flower garden to the bear. What grows there?

Children of the second younger group are attracted to systematic observations of nature at all times of the year, they are introduced to characteristic features every season. They must be led to establish an elementary connection between seasonal changes and the labor of people in nature.

At the beginning of autumn, flower gardens of kindergartens are decorated with multi-colored asters, velvety dark red dahlias, tall gladioluses of the most diverse colors. Carefully consider with children the shape and color of flowers, pay attention to their beauty.

Children should not be allowed to pick off the petals of flowers, crush them. A careless attitude towards plants will turn into a bad habit, which will then be difficult to eradicate.

The teacher introduces children to spring phenomena, teaches them to look for a connection between animate and inanimate nature: the sun shines brightly and warms, it becomes warm, snow melts, streams flow, leaves bloom on trees, grass and flowers appear. Trees and shrubs are planted in squares, flowers are planted in flower beds. Together with the children, the teachers sow the seeds of flowers and vegetables in the beds, and teach them to water them. You need to show the kids a garden, paths that you can walk on, beds with grooves in which seeds are sown.

Kids get acquainted with spring flowering plants: snowdrop, lungwort, primrose.

In the summer, educators support children's interest in flowers, introduce them to new plants, and teach them how to take care of them.

Children of the middle group have more stable attention, they have become stronger physically. They ask a lot of questions, get acquainted with various objects, their qualities and properties with interest.

Children are brought up with an interest in nature, the ability to admire it at different times of the year, in different weather, the desire to protect it. They develop interest in the work of adults and the desire to work themselves.

In autumn, you should pay attention to the fact that there are fewer flowering plants in the flower garden. Consider the flowers left in the flower beds.

Children of the middle group can already collect seeds in the flower garden. We must teach them to do this carefully so as not to crush the stems. You need to collect the seeds of no more than two plants, such as nasturtium and marigold, so that the kids can compare them and put them in two boxes. You can tell something interesting about each plant, make a riddle, read a poem.

In summer, children of the middle group can help weed weeds in flower beds, water flowers, and remove faded plants. With the educator set the period and duration of flowering plants.

In the older group, children's ideas about natural phenomena in inanimate and living nature are expanded and refined, a realistic understanding of these phenomena and the ability to establish a relationship between them is formed. The educator continues to develop the ability to observe seasonal changes, highlight characteristic features, analyze, generalize and correctly convey what is perceived in words and drawings; instills in children a love for nature, the desire to protect it. The educator strengthens and deepens the labor skills and abilities of children, teaches them to diligently and accurately carry out labor assignments, and develops a desire to help elders.

In the summer, children consider which plants remained in the flower beds and rabatka in the flower garden, which of them are blooming. It is necessary to explain to them that plants that grow and bloom only one summer are called annuals. Other plants are perennial, their roots hibernate in the soil. Children are told and in the process of work they are shown that in perennial plants, the aerial parts die off for the winter, and grow back in the spring. In some herbaceous plants, bulbs and rhizomes are stored in the ground in winter.

On the site of the kindergarten, you need to have a flower garden so that children can observe the growth, development, flowering of plants and learn how to care for them. You can pay attention to the plants of the garden and flower garden: in the morning they are fresh, resilient; drooping during the day, and rise again in the evening.

After repeated observations of plant life, children conclude that plants grow in certain places, in certain conditions. Some like the sun, others like shade, some like wet soil, others like dry.

On walks in the preparatory group, children, under the guidance of a teacher, continue to observe the weather and seasonal changes in the life of plants and animals. In the process of observation, the teacher reinforces the ideas of children. They should learn well the dependence of seasonal changes on sunlight. The teacher develops in children the ability to generalize the accumulated ideas about nature, forms concepts about various phenomena, brings up love for nature, the ability to perceive beauty, introduces nature conservation activities in our country, shows the work of people in the garden, in the field, in the garden, on cattle farms.

All planted plants are called cultivated, and such as dandelion, colza, primrose grow by themselves, no one planted them. These plants are called wild plants.

With children of older preschool age, it is advisable to trace the growth and development of one plant from seed to seed. The most suitable culture for this purpose is nasturtium. It has a number of advantages over other crops: large seeds that germinate when soaked; clearly visible modifications of the aerial part of the plant - a rapidly growing green mass, large leaves of a distinct shape, beautiful and large flowers; the ability to grow both on the site and indoors (which is especially valuable).

The features of the relationship of plants with the conditions of their life are traced. The teacher includes aesthetic observations: children learn to notice the beauty of plants, which manifests itself only in favorable conditions. Thus, they begin to understand the aesthetics of the living from an ecological perspective: beautiful plant is a healthy plant that is in an environment that fully meets its needs.

All these knowledge and skills are necessary to prepare children for school. Having mastered them, it will be easier for them to understand and study such sciences as natural history, physics, geography, etc. The main means of understanding nature is observation. In a child, the perception of nature is sharper than in an adult, since he comes into contact with it for the first time. By maintaining and developing this interest, the teacher can educate children in many ways. positive traits personality, to acquaint with natural phenomena, to explain their causes and interrelation.

1.3. flower bed requirements

When planning and landscaping the site of a children's institution, the basic rule is always taken into account: all vegetation here meets the safety requirements for the health and life of children, and also serves their environmental education. A developing subject environment is created on the plots, which is used for educational and recreational purposes, for developing children's skills of work and communication with nature, for environmental education of preschoolers and propaganda environmental knowledge among adults.

The arrangement of flower beds not only decorates the territory of the kindergarten, but also allows you to conduct classes with children, teaching them to observe nature and take care of plants. It is important to remember that some flowers, especially those with a strong scent, can cause allergic reactions in babies.

AT children's institution do not use chemicals, because children can be poisoned. For pest control, it is better to use an infusion of garlic, marigolds, tomatoes, tobacco. Beveled or cut tops are infused in an aqueous solution and the plants are sprayed with this infusion. You can use soapy water.

On the section of the preschool educational institution should be many colors. Flowering plants create an excellent visual environment: they develop perception, have a beneficial effect on the psyche, improve mood, and evoke positive emotions.

In different places of the site, annuals, perennials, and biennials can grow. Plants should be easy to care for, long-flowering.

Flower beds are recommended to be broken up so that the flowering of plants does not coincide in time. For example, tulips and daffodils begin to bloom in spring, peonies, carnations and delphiniums bloom from the beginning of summer, then phloxes, gladiolus, dahlias. Chrysanthemums, perennial asters, rudbeckia bloom until late autumn. These plants are perennial and require only top dressing, tillage and weed removal.

All flower garden plants are demanding on the soil, which should be loose, nutritious, and its layer is quite deep, according to the root system.

If the soil layer is shallow and there is clay, sand or podzol under it, it must be replaced with a fertile one.

1.4. Types of flower beds.

When creating a flower garden, various forms of flower plantings are used. The most common of these are flower beds, rabatki and lawns. AT floral arrangement it is important to choose the right ornamental plants(by height, shape and color of flowers, by flowering time). It is necessary to take into account the requirements of plants for light, soil and moisture.

Flowerbeds do not have to be complex in shape. Round, oval and quadrangular flower beds look best. You don't need to make them big. Breaking flower beds, you need the most tall plants plant in the center, as you move towards the edges - plants of medium height, along the edge - very low curbs.

Rabatki are long, narrow flower beds arranged along the sides of the paths, near the walls of buildings, along terraces and fences. Plants on the borders are planted in rows. The surface of the rabatok is always flat, only slightly raised to the center to avoid stagnant water.

Green lawns serve as a good backdrop for flower beds. They are especially decorated with perennials and flowering shrubs planted in groups. The soil for lawns is prepared in the fall. Seeds are sown in early spring when the soil is still damp.

Border - part of a flower garden, a form of flower planting, bordering plantings of flower or decorative-deciduous annual or perennial plants along the contour of a flower bed, along a path, rabatok, lawn, alleys. Sometimes borders are called a frame or border.

Parterre - an ornamental complex flower garden, a plot in which ornamental plants are grown. Often this front flower garden, located in front of the building or at the beginning of the site. In landscaping art, the parterre is a decorative device on a horizontal plane in a strictly sustained style of floral and decorative design, which is arranged on the site in front of the building. The parker consists of several elements (lawns, specially selected decorative leafy and flower plants, paths, small forms of architecture) combined and organized flower arrangement into a whole. The parterres are dominated by lawns with flowerbeds and ridges with bright and long-lasting ornamental plants.

Flower clock - a set of herbaceous plants planted in a small area, the flowers of which open and close in certain time days (accurate to 30 minutes - 1 hour).

Alpine slides are beginning to become more and more famous in landscaping, especially on small areas. The main condition for plants Alpine slide- good drainage and lighting. The most suitable south, southeast and southwest sides. Choosing a place for a slide is an important point. It looks good against the background of a stone wall, trees, a fence shaded by climbing plants. Vertical gardening - decorative decoration with greenery and flowering plants of large vertical spaces - is used in cases where, due to the small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe site, it is not possible to arrange a flower garden or when it is necessary to decorate the facades of buildings, fences. For vertical gardening, it is good to use climbing plants: wild grapes, garden beans, nasturtium, sweet peas.

To decorate the flower garden, you can use beautifully flowering shrubs and herbaceous ornamental plants. By life expectancy in the open field, ornamental plants are divided into perennials, biennials and annuals.

When planning a flower garden, you need to make the most of the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe site, leaving room for free activities for children: for games, for observations, sports and entertainment.

When laying out a flower garden, one should take into account its importance in the aesthetic education of children: think over a combination of plants by color, decorative placement in space.

1.5. Organization of joint activities of the teacher and children in the flower garden

Preschool childhood is the initial stage in the formation of a person's personality, his value orientation in the world around him. During this period, a positive attitude is laid to nature, to the “man-made world”, to oneself and to the people around.

A consciously correct attitude to nature is based on sensory perception nature, emotional attitude to it and knowledge about the characteristics of life, growth and development of individual living beings. The visual-effective and visual-figurative forms of thinking that prevail in preschool childhood ensure the assimilation of only specially selected and age-adapted information about nature. Selection criteria natural material are their visual representation and the possibility of inclusion in practical activities.

Nature leaves a deep imprint in the soul of the child, influencing his feelings with its brightness, diversity. Preschoolers look at the world around them with great interest, but they don’t see everything, sometimes they don’t even notice the main thing. And if a teacher next to him, who is surprised with them, teaches not only to look, but also to see, the children will want to see and learn even more. The optimal pedagogical communication of the educator with the children is when the best conditions are created for the development of the child, his active creative participation in the activity. These points are directly related to the joint activities of the educator with children in "ecological spaces".

Joint organizational and economic, labor activities in the garden of a kindergarten, growing plants can take various forms and take place with varying degrees inclusion and participation of both adults and children. Preschoolers can become involved in this activity in three ways:

• Through the teacher's story about various affairs and events in the preschool educational institution;
• Through observation of the activities of adults;
• Through their practical participation.

Work in nature contributes to the development of empathy in children (sympathy, compassion, empathy for living beings), allows the child to see the result of his help to the living, to feel the joy of friendly contacts with the natural world. This significantly improves the emotional-volitional sphere of the child's personality, favorably affects the development of the adaptive mechanisms of his psyche.

Environmentally oriented activity allows preschoolers to master the ability to behave in an environmentally sound manner in nature. The child accumulates moral and valuable experience in relation to the world, which gives his activity a humane character. The work of children in nature creates a favorable condition for physical development, improves movement, stimulates the actions of various organs, and strengthens the nervous system.

The work combines mental and strong-willed skills. Systematic collective work unites the children, instills in them diligence and responsibility for the assigned work, gives them pleasure and joy. Working on the site (in the garden, flower garden, berry garden), children master the simplest practical skills in handling agricultural equipment, learn how to care for plants, and receive a lot of information about the growth and development of plants.

According to the Sanitary and Epidemiological Rules and Regulations SanPiN 2.4.1.3049-13, when children perform such work on the land as watering plants, transferring sand, clearing snow, serviceable equipment corresponding to the growth of children with strong handles is used. Do not use equipment intended for adults. Carrying weights of no more than 2-2.5 kg for short distances is allowed, as well as the previously mentioned types of work, only for older preschoolers.

Children of primary preschool age are taught to perform the simplest assignments: with the help of a teacher, feed the birds, water houseplants, wipe large leaves, sow large flower seeds in the flower garden.

Preschoolers of the middle group perform labor assignments, take care of plants on their own. They need to cultivate perseverance and the habit of making labor efforts to achieve the goal, the skills of simple teamwork. Children of this age need to be gradually prepared to understand that favorable conditions must be created for the life and growth of plants (soil, sunlight, heat, moisture, etc. are determined). At the same time, care must be taken that children experience the joy of work.

Older preschoolers need to develop the habit of working on their own initiative, and not just at the suggestion of the educator, to do the work diligently, carefully, to save materials and objects of labor, to cultivate a willingness to participate in joint work activities with everyone. As a result, children experience great satisfaction, they gain confidence in their abilities and the conviction that they did a real great job, bringing joy to the people around them.

Labor in nature has its own specifics. This is the only type of productive labor available to preschool children.
The ultimate goal is to grow flowers, and the results of labor are concrete and understandable to the child, but they cannot be achieved quickly. The educator, working together with the children, sets them a specific task, outlines what result they will get. Shows the right tricks as needed.

The most acceptable forms for solving educational problems are considered to be the organization of labor in the form of various kinds of assignments: individual, group. They can be long-term, systematic, short-term.

The work of children, no matter how large it may be, becomes meaningful, environmentally appropriate:

• if there is a dependence of the life and condition of plants on the conditions in which they are located;
• if the understanding is strengthened that these conditions are created by the labor of people.

Thus, the care of adults and preschoolers about plants, the creation and maintenance of the necessary conditions for all living beings in the living space of children, are the main method of environmental education - a method that ensures the development of the principles of environmental consciousness, the formation of the first practical skills of proper interaction with the nature of the nearest environment.

2.1. Selection of annual plants

Garden flowers can delight with their flowering from early spring to late autumn. All types of flowers are divided into annuals and perennials.

Perennial flowers, or as they are also called perennials, are ornamental plants that grow in one place and retain their decorative qualities for more than two years.

Plants used in the flower garden during one vegetative period are called annuals or annuals. The main advantage of flowering annuals is the ability to go through the entire vegetation cycle in just one season, pleasing the eye. rapid development and lush blooms throughout the summer.

Annuals are sun loving plants. In all its glory, they appear only in a rich, sufficiently moist area, well lit. sunbeams. When planning to create a flower bed entirely from annuals, you need to consider a number of factors:

• Flowering period. All annuals garden flowers are famous for their long flowering, but still some of them bloom earlier, while others later. Among spring-flowering annuals, one can distinguish: pelargonium, begonia, petunia. Already from the beginning of June, zinnia, marigolds, marigolds and cornflowers will bloom. And until late autumn, flower beds will be decorated with: aster, lavater, snapdragon and calendula.
• Place of planting. When arranging a flower garden, low and colorful marigolds, nasturtiums and cornflowers are perfect. A spectacular decoration of the fence or walls of the gazebo can be: decorative sweet pea, morning glory or curly beans. Geranium, begonia, petunia are well suited for planting in containers.
• Color palette. Choosing beautiful annual flowers, you can get a great opportunity to paint the site in your favorite colors.

When growing letniki, it must be borne in mind that some of them, such as marigolds, balsam, salvia, are heat-loving plants; others - alyssum, asters, snapdragons - are cold-resistant, they tolerate small frosts.

Climbing plants, such as nasturtium, sweet peas, morning glory, garden beans, are seated near arbors, sheds, houses. For the rapid growth of these plants, a wire or twine is tied to wooden pegs, around which they curl. Children like to play in such "flower tents".

Annual flowering plants are undersized - marigolds, alyssum, lobelia, purslane, nasturtium, marigolds (calendula), mignonette, annual phlox, zinnia; medium height - levkoy, balsam, petunia, asters, verbena; high - amaranthus (with red foliage), fragrant tobacco, cochia or summer cypress, kosmeya, lupine. Usually they are planted with seedlings, but seeds can also be used.

2.2. Characteristics of some plants

There are many types and varieties of annual flowers. Consider some of them that are used for planting in kindergarten areas.

Marigold (lat. Tagétes) - Aster family or Compositae. Latin name came from the name of the grandson of the god Jupiter - Tages (Tages), famous for his beauty and ability to predict the future. Where they can be found from Argentina to the southern states of the USA. Since ancient times, the Indians used them in their rituals, they also treated various diseases with their help. In the 16th century, marigolds began to spread rapidly across Europe, Asia Minor and North America. Marigolds were the first among overseas plants brought to Russia.

The stems are erect, branched, forming a compact or sprawling bush with a height of 20 to 120 cm.

Leaves - pinnately dissected or pinnately divided, rarely entire, serrated, from light to dark green, located opposite or in the next order, with translucent glands.

Basket inflorescences, simple or double, yellow, orange or brown. The heads of representatives of this genus are of medium size, with a cylindrical veil consisting of one row of leaflets fused together; regional female flowers- reed; achenes are linear, narrowed towards the base. They bloom profusely from June until frost.

The fruit is a black or black-brown strongly flattened achene. Seeds remain viable for 3-4 years. In 1 g from 280 to 700 seeds.

The smell of plants, reminiscent of aster, specific, may be unpleasant for someone. Marigolds can grow in shade and partial shade, but will bloom more luxuriantly in the sunniest spots.

In decorative floriculture, usually numerous hybrid varieties some types. One of the main varietal characteristics of marigolds is the structure of inflorescences. There are clove-flowered (mainly from reed flowers) and chrysanthemum-shaped (mainly from large tubular flowers); terry, semi-double and simple.

In some European countries and Latin America dried flowers are used as a seasoning, known in Russia and the Caucasus under the name Imeretian saffron (leaves have a specific spicy fragrant aroma). Also in America they not only decorate garden beds but are also used in medicine. The leaves are used in Mexico for intermittent fever, emaciation, constipation, and as a diuretic and diaphoretic, and in large doses as an emetic.

Calendula or Marigold ( lat. Calendula)- genus grassy plants of the familyAsteraceae . Members of the genus grow inmediterranean , Western Europe and Western Asia .

The flowers of the plant are yellow or orange in color, collected in inflorescences-baskets. The fruit of calendula is an achene, slightly bent, without a tuft. Fruit on the outside of an uneven surface with the presence of thorns. The flowering of the plant begins in June and ends in September. The fruits ripen in October. The plant is very fond of light, but demanding on moisture and soil.

This plant blooms for quite a long time, from June to late autumn, almost until October. Calendula bears fruit in July, propagated by seeds, does not require special conditions for growing, and at the same time is considered a good honey plant.

Calendula is considered cultivated plant, they grow it for both medicinal and decorative purposes, very rarely it runs wild. For treatment, only inflorescences are used, that is, baskets that are harvested during the flowering period, when the basket has fully blossomed. Leaves and flower stalks are not used.

In domestic pharmacology, this plant is very much appreciated. Collect the most useful part of the plant - bright flowers. The main substance that is part of the flowers is calendene. In addition to it, the flowers contain several organic acids (primarily malic and pentadecyl, partially salicylic), resins, carotene. The tart aroma of the plant is due to the presence of essential oil. Carotene, found in marigolds, affects the color of the plant, in orange flowers twice as much as whites. First of all, calendula is used as medicinal product which helps with many diseases.

Zinnia ( lat. Zinnia) - familyAsteraceae . Some types of zinnia are popular ornamental flowering plants.

Conclusion

In this way, the most important factor formation of the human personality is the surrounding ecological environment. All its aspects have or can have a developmental impact on the child. The ecological environment that affects the feelings, emotions, and psyche of the child is thereby involved in the formation of his personality. The success of the education, upbringing and development of children, their well-being emotional condition associated with the creation of a favorable environment, developing environment.

The creation of flower beds on the site of the kindergarten helps to effectively implement the tasks for the comprehensive development of the personality of a preschooler. Working in the flower garden helps to improve the level of preschool education. The knowledge that children receive on the site is closely related to program material; they help to expand and deepen the knowledge gained in the classroom. The main thing is that children master the skills to apply knowledge in practice, comprehending the inseparable unity of the natural environment and man.

At the kindergarten site, education and upbringing merge into a single process. Children learn here not only scientific knowledge about the natural environment, but also ethical and legal norms related to nature management. Conditions are constantly created on the site for a combination of thoughts, feelings and actions. And such an alloy essential condition educating a confident person. Work on the site helps to realize the connection between learning and life, with the work of people, educates children industriousness and respect for work. Children comprehend the relationship of man to the environment in the process of work and rest. They learn to evaluate the results of labor, to predict the environmental consequences of human activities, including their own. The highest manifestation of the connection between learning and life is the participation of children in improving the general state of nature on the territory of an educational institution.

Each hostess, who has her own land, tries to ennoble it with flower beds. Most often they are located next to gazebos for relaxation or directly near the entrance to the house. To keep her well-groomed, attractive appearance you need to have some skills. But it is not necessary to contact a professional designer at the same time, with some effort, you can design your site yourself.

First of all, you should decide what exactly you want to create. If you have chosen a rustic style, then the flower bed can be decorated with old painted tires, decoration from an old bicycle, etc.

Popular and distinguished by their sophistication are compositions with ornamental trees and coniferous shrubs. Firstly, they do not require special care efforts, and secondly, they look great all year round. If you opt for this option, you should consider that such plants require an acidic environment.

Fallen needles, a small part of peat and soddy land are used to prepare the soil. Then the resulting mixture must be poured into a previously prepared recess with a layer of 50 cm. coniferous plants should not, in the future they will grow. Better complement it with boxwood, rhododendron or erica. For a finished look, the edges of the flower beds will also require decoration.

Another interesting option is a flower bed of perennials. A lot of planting schemes have been developed, where the location, color scheme, and flowering period are interestingly chosen.

With proper care, such compositions do not require annual planting of new flowers. Using the suggested tips, your site will look presentable for several months of the year.

Flower bed of continuous flowering - the ideal solution for the front flower garden

Breaking a flower garden at the entrance to the house, I want it to always look attractive. The ideal solution would be to create a flower bed continuous flowering.

To successfully create such a flower garden, you need to consider a few rules:

• The flower bed should be planted with both perennial and annual flowers. And even bushes.
• It is necessary to choose plants with approximately the same requirements for humidity, light and watering.
• There should not be plants - aggressors (decorative leaf gout, loosestrife, periwinkle). Also undesirable are perennials that are easily inseminated (lupine, poppy, aquilegia).

The next step in creating a continuous flowering flower bed will be a plan on paper. Drawing a plan, we define its contours. We also compile a list of perennials and their location.

Here is an approximate list of perennials by season of the year:

Spring: snowdrop, crocus, blueberry, pushkinia, muscari, hionodoxa, hyacinth, tulip, narcissus, primrose, hellebore, saxifrage, daisy, hazel grouse, anemone, liverwort, erantis.

Summer: here is the largest selection of various perennials: aquilegia, delphinium, poppy, lily, kupena, chamomile, daylily, peony, aquilegia, hosta, carnation, lychnis, rudbeckia, iris, phlox, cornflower, monarda, cinquefoil, sedum, euphorbia, bluebell, geyhera .

Autumn: chrysanthemum, perennial aster, gelenium, goldenrod, sunflower, coreopsis.

You can also identify groups of out-of-season plants that are attractive for a long time. This is primarily coniferous plants, spruce, mountain pine, juniper. This can also be attributed ornamental cereals such as blue fescue, maned barley, miscanthus. All kinds of ferns are also decorative all summer.

The final list depends on the size of the future flower bed. But even if the sizes are large, you do not need to plant a large number of different perennials, it is better to let them be few, but each will occupy a larger area. So we will avoid excessive variegation, which will greatly complicate the perception of the entire flower garden at once.

The resulting list of plants is divided into two groups:

The first is plants that have a short growing season. These are mainly spring bulbous plants. In their place, annual flowers should be provided. It is very good to plant plants that form a large green mass from one root.

An ideal variant of such a plant is a petunia. It can be planted a little aside from the place where the bulbs are in the ground, and, growing, it will completely close it.

We will include all the remaining perennials in the second group - they will not spoil the look of the flower bed after flowering.

Having decided on the list of perennials and their features, we begin to place them on our plan. To do this, number each with a serial number from one and so on. It is even fashionable to cut out rectangles or circles from paper and number them. Then lay them out on the plan, trying on various options plant arrangements.

When the plan is ready, then, most likely, some places will remain completely empty. This is where peers will help us. From annuals, it is better to choose unpretentious ones, such as high and low marigolds, annual asters, petunias, nasturtiums, annual dahlias.

All these perennials are characterized by low maintenance requirements and a variety of colors. This will allow you to choose plants that will organically combine with existing perennials.

Then you can proceed directly to the preparation of the site. It is better to do this in late summer or early autumn. The site must be carefully dug up, select all the weeds. Allow the soil to settle for about a week and start planting perennial rhizomes and bulbs.

If not all plants are available, then their planting can be postponed until spring. But then it is desirable to mark those plants that have already been planted with signs.

In the spring of next year, we plant annuals. It is better to plant them with seedlings, so it will be possible to plant the required number of specimens in the places allotted to them.

In full glory, a flowerbed of continuous flowering will open only after a year, when all perennials take root well and grow a good root system.

The best decoration of a summer cottage is a flower bed made by one's own hands. To create a flower bed that will please the eye and where everything will be in harmony, you need to work a little.

Make a plan for what you will do. Carefully select flowers, taking into account the time of flowering and the area. It must be protected from strong wind and sun. After choosing a place, we prepare the soil, clearing weeds, remove the top layer of the earth and fertilize it. It is good to add black soil, sand, loosen and make drainage.

One large flower bed often looks better than several small ones, but this is a matter of taste.

Take a simple shape, preferably round or oval, or irregular in shape, but without corners, unless you are a specialist designer, otherwise you may get an unexpected result. Perennials are the best. Annuals are planted for novelty.

Flowers are planted from small to large, so that the large ones are in the center, or in the background if the flower bed is against the wall. In the color scheme, adhere to a harmonious transition so that it does not hurt the eyes. Everything is good in moderation! A little bright accents, as a rule, warm colors, and the rest is a background of cold colors.

Add white flowers, they dilute the colors, and black enhance warm colors. Use the principle of maximum diversification. One flowering period is undesirable, as a variegated picture may result.

If you want to make a flower bed a slide, then in the center pour the earth about half a meter high, and the bottom level is about 10 cm from the gravel. After a couple of weeks, the earth sags, then you can start planting flowers.

More and more popular. They give maximum naturalness to the landscape. The philosophy of creating such slides requires correct placement all elements. For summer cottages, low-growing varieties of trees and shrubs are used. Bright plants are planted separately, and background plants in small groups. The hill is planted from above. Height - from low to high. All plants are sprinkled with pebbles and watered thoroughly.

The surroundings of the flower bed are no less important than the flower itself. Various hedges, trimmed shrubs, stones, etc. are used for decoration. For decoration, you can also use various vases and figurines, which are enough on sale.

For compositions with juniper, painted crushed stone is perfect. Weaving from branches has become fashionable.

Today, options for flowerbeds, equipped directly in tires, have gained popularity. Read about here.

Items of old household utensils will be more useful than ever in a flower bed! - it is fashionable and relevant.
