Synopsis

The project Biogarden in Winter includes several programs based on principles of contemporary vegetable growing, biogardening and organic production. Children participating in the project are introduced to various useful plants, which they grow indoors during the winter, observe their growth and development from planting to harvesting. The main project programs are called:  “Seed is a germ of life”, “Don't expect more from nature than you give it”, "Plants love each other also”, and “Useful plants in our area”. Overall, biogardens in winter and spring (growing plants in room, on window or at balcony) give children an opportunity to receive environmental education as well as to do some practical work, the results of which are cultivated plants that can be used as food.

Key words: ecology, children's education, biogardening, preservation of nature.

Sinopsis

PRVE EKOLOŠKE INFORMACIJE O UZGOJU I KORIŠĆENJU BILJAKA

Projekat Biobašta zimi sadrži nekoliko programa zasnovanih na principima savremenog uzgoja povrća, biobaštovanstva i organske proizvodnje. Djeca koja učestvuju u ovom projektu upoznaju se sa raznim korisnim biljkama, koje gaje u zatvorenom prostoru tokom zime, posmatraju njihov rast i razvoj od sadnje do berbe. Glavni programi u projektu nose nazive:  “Sjeme je klica života ”, “Ne očekuj od prirode više nego što joj daješ”, "I biljke takođe vole jedna drugu”, i “Korisne biljke u našoj oblasti”. Sveukupno, biobašte zimi i s proljeća (uzgoj biljaka u zatvorenom prostoru, na prozoru ili na balkonu) pruža djeci mogućnost da stiču obrazovanje o životnoj sredini kao i da rade neki praktični posao, koji rezultira uzgojem biljaka koje se mogu koristiti kao hrana.

Ključne riječi: ekologija, obrazovanje djece, biobaštovanstvo, zaštita prirode.
