Zeleni atelijer spaja biljke i umjetnost u jednu cjelinu. Radi se o ručno rađenom biofilnom dekoru koji je napravljen od ekološki prihvatljivih materijala. Osim estetske uloge, svaki od proizvoda ima i funkcionalnu ulogu: Plant catcheri (hvatači biljaka) služe za ukorijenjavanje reznica u hidrokulturi, a vaze od jute za uređenje svakog stola, dok okviri i platna kroz citate i biljke potiču inspiraciju za osobni rast.

Mag. Mara Doljak, osnivačica i direktorica tvrtke ‘Aromara’ bavi se proizvodnjom eteričnih ulja te proizvoda za njegu i podršku kod različitih tegoba, edukacijama čija je svrha osvještavanje što većeg broja ljudi o blagodatima prirode i biljaka na  zdravlje pojedinaca, a primarni interes joj je aromaterapija. Posebna vrijednost njenog rada je što se formulacije proizvoda oslanjaju isključivo na ljekovitost prirode, a to je poruka koju želimo prenijeti i našim učenicima. Uz obilježavanje Dana Očaranosti biljkama održat će radionicu „Od biljke do zdravlja“ na kojoj će educirati učenike i zainteresirane o osnovama aromaterapije, ali i osvijestiti ih o važnosti biljaka u očuvanju zdravlja.

Mag. Mara Doljak, founder and director of the company ‘Aromara’ is engaged in the production of essential oils and products for care and support of various ailments, education aimed at raising awareness of as many people about the benefits of nature and plants to individual health, and her primary interest is aromatherapy. The special value of her work is that the product formulations rely exclusively on the healing properties of nature, and this is the message we want to convey to our students. In addition to marking the Day of Enchantment with Plants, he will hold a workshop “From Plant to Health” where he will educate students and those interested in the basics of aromatherapy, but also make them aware of the importance of plants in maintaining health.

Biljke su najvažniji izvor energije za većinu ljudi. Osim što su izvor važnih mikro i makronutrijenata sadrže i čitav niz fitokemikalija koje mogu pomoći u održavanju zdravlja, ali jednako tako mogu se koristiti u prehrambenoj industriji kao prirodni aditivi ili poboljšivači organoleptičkih svojstava hrane. Kroz seriju predavanja skrenut će se pozornost na neke biljke koje se koriste u prehrambenoj industriji. Također, posjetioci će moći prisustvovati kvizu raspoznavanja žitarica.

Plants are the most important source of energy for most people. In addition to being a source of important micro and macronutrients, they also contain a number of phytochemicals that can help maintain health, but can also be used in the food industry as natural additives or enhancers of the organoleptic properties of food. Through a series of lectures, attention will be drawn to some plants used in the food industry. Also, visitors will be able to attend a cereal recognition quiz.

Značajan broj životinjskih vrsta ima funkcionalnu ulogu oprašivača poljoprivrednih kultura i divljih biljaka. Globalno najvažniji oprašivači biljaka su kukci. Kukci oprašivači uključuju pčele (Apidae; medonosne pčele, samotne pčele, bumbari), peludne ose (Masarinae), mrave (Formicidae), dvokrilce (muhe cvjetare, muhe zujare i komarce), leptire, moljce te neke vrste kornjaša. Pojedine biljke oprašuju kralježnjaci, posebice ptice, ali i neki sisavci kao što su šišmiši, brojne vrste glodavaca, majmuni i oposumi te gušteri. Ljudi također mogu izvesti umjetno oprašivanje. Otprilike tri četvrtine poljoprivrednih usjeva u svijetu se u određenoj mjeri oslanjaju na oprašivače za proizvodnju hrane i sjemena. U posljednjih nekoliko desetaka godina agroekosustav je izvršio značajan pritisak te prouzrokovao intenzivno opadanje brojnosti oprašivača i njihove raznolikosti, što je rezultiralo nižom poljoprivrednom produktivnošću, ali i ugrozilo bioraznolikost biljnih vrsta. Neke od mjera predloženih za reduciranje glavnih prijetnji oprašivačima usmjerene su na očuvanje staništa, smanjenje utjecaja pesticida i invazivnih vrsta. Kako bi se ove mjere uspješno provodile potrebno je što više informirati i educirati javnost o ovoj važnoj temi.

A significant number of animal species have a functional role as pollinators of agricultural crops and wild plants. Globally the most important plant pollinators are insects. Pollinating insects include bees (Apidae; honey bees, solitary bees, bumblebees), pollen wasps (Masarinae), ants (Formicidae), biplanes (flower flies, buzzards and mosquitoes), butterflies, moths and some species of beetles. Some plants are pollinated by vertebrates, especially birds, but also some mammals such as bats, many species of rodents, monkeys and opossums and lizards. Humans can also perform artificial pollination. Approximately three quarters of the world’s agricultural crops rely to some extent on food and seed pollinators. In the last few decades, the agroecosystem has exerted significant pressure and caused an intensive decline in the number of pollinators and their diversity, which resulted in lower agricultural productivity, but also endangered the biodiversity of plant species. Some of the measures proposed to reduce the main threats to pollinators are aimed at preserving habitats, reducing the impact of pesticides and invasive species. In order for these measures to be successfully implemented, it is necessary to inform and educate the public as much as possible about this important topic.

Biljke nisu prekrasne samo izvana, već i iznutra. Pojedina staničja i tkiva izgledaju čarobno ispod okulara mikroskopa i promatraču otkrivaju jedan posve novi svijet. MiU posljednje vrijeme klijanci, mladi izdanci i ”baby leaf” povrće predstavljaju rastući segment u sektoru poljoprivredne proizvodnje. Zbog visokog sadržaja klorofila i bioaktivnih spojeva (minerala, vitamina, fenola, karotenoida…) ubrajaju se u funkcionalnu hranu. Mladi izdanci konzumiraju se svježi, bez termičke obrade stoga ne dolazi do gubitka nutrijenata kojima su vrlo bogati. Osim hranjivih sastojaka, sadrže bioaktivne spojeve koji mogu pozitivno utjecati na fiziološke procese u organizmu i/ili smanjiti rizik od bolesti. Microgreensi pšenice ne moraju se nužno konzumirati svježi već se mogu koristiti i u obliku praha. Utvrđeno je da redovita konzumacija pšeničnog praha utječe na smanjenje umora, poboljšanje metabolizma, nestanak problema sa slabokrvnošću, snižavanje krvnog tlaka,antibakterijsko djelovanje, detoksikaciju i obnovu jetre.

Plants are not only beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside. Individual cells and tissues look magical under the eyepiece of a microscope and reveal a whole new world to the observer. Recently, seedlings, young shoots and baby leaf vegetables have been a growing segment in the agricultural production sector. Due to the high content of chlorophyll and bioactive compounds (minerals, vitamins, phenols, carotenoids…) they are considered functional foods. Young shoots are consumed fresh, without heat treatment, so there is no loss of nutrients for which they are very rich. In addition to nutrients, they contain bioactive compounds that can positively affect physiological processes in the body and / or reduce the risk of disease. Wheat microgreens do not necessarily have to be consumed fresh but can also be used in powder form. Regular consumption of wheat powder has been found to reduce fatigue, improve metabolism, eliminate anemia problems, lower blood pressure, antibacterial action, detoxify and restore the liver.

Voćne vrste na terasama, balkonima i krovovima sve su više prisutne. Razvojem svijesti o problemu
zagađenja, nedostatka prostora te problema sve viših temperatura i zagađenja zraka u gradovima
terase, balkoni i krovovi postali su jedno od potencijalnih rješenja za navedene probleme. Osim što
štite objekt od štetnih utjecaja sunca i vremenskih neprilika, takve terase, blakoni i krovovi stvaraju
stanište za razne vrste kukaca, insekata i ptica, a ljudi se osjećaju puno ugodnije u zelenom
okruženju. Osim takvog načina uzgoja voćne vrste zauzimaju sve veći značaj u prirodnim okruženjima
poput šuma, livada i drugih. No samo određene voćne vrste moguće je uspješno uzgajati na
pojedinim prostorima uz određene uvjete a posjetiteljima će biti prikazani zahtjevi i mogućnosti
odabira voćnih vrsta za određeni način uzgoja. Uz to posjetiteljima će također biti omogućen obilazak
voćnjaka uz stručno vodstvo s ciljem raspoznavanja pojedinih vrsta, njihovih morfoloških svojstava,
načina uzgoja i njege.

Fruit species on terraces, balconies and roofs are increasingly present. By developing awareness of the problem
pollution, lack of space and the problem of rising temperatures and air pollution in cities
terraces, balconies and roofs have become one of the potential solutions to these problems. Except
protect the building from the harmful effects of the sun and weather, such terraces, balconies and roofs create
habitat for various species of insects, insects and birds, and people feel much more comfortable in the green
environment. In addition to this method of cultivation, fruit species are becoming increasingly important in natural environments
like forests, meadows and others. But only certain fruit species can be successfully grown on
certain spaces under certain conditions and visitors will be shown the requirements and possibilities
selection of fruit species for a particular method of cultivation. In addition, visitors will also be able to tour
orchards with expert guidance in order to identify individual species, their morphological properties,
methods of cultivation and care.

U predavanju će biti objašnjena detekcija biljnog pokrova pomoću daljinskog motrenja (bespilotne letjelice, sateliti) na primjeru snimaka koje ćemo načiniti bespilotnom letjelicom nekoliko dana prije DOB. Za izradu snimaka koristit ćemo plastične biljke (dekorativne) kako bismo prikazali da, iako se na True Color slikama ne vidi razlika između vegetacije i plastičnih biljaka, razliku možemo uočiti korištenjem raznih kombinacija spektralnih kanala. Zaključno, bit će navedeno gdje se ovakva daljinska motrenja koriste u praksi (u poljoprivredi i istraživanju okoliša).

The lecture will explain the detection of vegetation cover by remote sensing (drones, satellites) on the example of images that we will make a drone a few days before the FoPD. We will use plastic plants (decorative) to make the images to show that, although the True Color images do not show a difference between vegetation and plastic plants, the difference can be seen by using different combinations of spectral channels. In conclusion, it will be stated where such remote sensing is used in practice (in agriculture and environmental research).

Kroz animaciju prezentirati utjecaj hraniva (gnojiva) na biljku i nastajanje hrane koju konzumiramo. Djeca bi kroz interakcijsku bajkovitu radionicu sudjelovala u rješavanja stresa kod biljaka izazvanog nedostakom hraniva (gnojiva), vode, sunca i zraka te nastajanjem hrane koju konzumiramo. Također bi se napavila dekorativna biljna pozadina kao prepoznatljiv izgled DOB.

Through animation the impact of nutrients (fertilizers) on the plant and the formation of food that we consume would be presented. Through an interactive fairy tale workshop, children would participate in solving stress in plants caused by a lack of nutrients (fertilizers), water, sun and air, and the formation of food that we consume. Decorative plant wallpaper would also be added as a recognizable look of the FoPD.

S obzirom na veliku količinu otpada nakon raznih ampelotehničkih zahvata te nakon vinifikacije koji je bogat bioaktivnim sastavnicama kao što su polifenoli, klorofili, karotenoidi itd., pokazat ćemo kako iz spomenutih ostataka dobiti ekstrakt koji obiluje bioaktivnim spojevima te se može iskoristiti u različitim tipovima krema. Od ekstrakata listova i bobica radit će se boje kojima će se oslikati ambalaža krema.

Given the large amount of waste after various ampelotechnical procedures and after vinification rich in bioactive components such as polyphenols, chlorophylls, carotenoids, etc., we will show how to obtain an extract rich in bioactive compounds and can be used in various types of creams. Extracts of leaves and berries will be used to paint the packaging of the cream.
