On the occasion of the 7th International Day of Enchantment with Plants, the students of PŠ Drežnica will present their school garden to visitors. The “Fairytale Garden” school garden will be open to visitors on Friday, May 10, 2024. The garden is designed in the shape of a flower with raised beds (boxes). Students grow bulbous vegetables (onions and garlic), leafy vegetables (greens and kale and lettuce), root vegetables (parsley, celery, carrots), decorative, medicinal and herbs (lavender, rosemary, bay leaves, violets), wild herbs (thyme, mint and plantain) and garden strawberry. They will present the importance of the school garden and the plants that students use for the production of cosmetic products, the production of natural soap using the cold process, the use of plants as spices in food, but also for the preparation of decoctions (tea) and as part of school lunches.

Učenici PŠ Drežnica povodom 6. međunarodnog Dana očaranosti biljkama, posjetiteljima će predstaviti svoj školski vrt. Školski vrt „Bajkoviti vrt “, u petak, 10. svibnja 2024. godine, biti će otvoren posjetiteljima. Vrt je koncipiran u obliku cvijeta sa uzdignutim gredicama (boksovima). Učenici na gredicama uzgajaju lukovičasto povrće (luk i češnjak), lisnato povrće (ogulinsko zelje i kelj i salatu), korjenasto povrće (peršin, celer, mrkva), ukrasno, ljekovito i začinsko bilje (lavandula, ružmarin, lovor, ljubičica), samoniklo bilje (majčina dušica, menta i uskolisni trputac) te vrtnu jagodu. Prezentirati će važnost školskog vrta te biljke koje učenici koriste za proizvodnju kozmetičkih proizvoda, izradu prirodnog sapuna hladnim postupkom, korištenje biljaka kao začina u prehrani, ali i pripreme uvarka (čaja) te i kao dio marende u školi.

International students who are studding at University of Zagreb Faculty of Agriculture will present main crops of their countries.

Medicinal plants have been used in traditional medicine since ancient times, and in recent times there has been an increasing interest in their products, which today are used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries and are part of numerous ‘home pharmacies’. Visitors will be presented with production procedures (germination of seeds, cutting of seedlings) and processing of plant material of medicinal plant species (distillation of essential oil), i.e. preparation of the final medicinal preparation (teas, macerates, tinctures).

Ljekovito bilje koristi se u tradicionalnoj medicini od davnina, a u novije vrijeme sve je veći interes za njihovim proizvodima, koji danas nalaze primjenu u prehrambenoj, kozmetičkoj i farmaceutskoj industriji i dio su mnogobrojnih ‘kućnih ljekarni’. Posjetiteljima će biti predstavljeni postupci u proizvodnji (naklijavanje sjemena, pikiranje presadnica) i preradi biljnog materijala ljekovitih biljnih vrsta (destilacija eteričnog ulja) odnosno pripremi konačnog ljekovitog pripravka (čajevi, macerati, tinkture).

There isn’t a plant grower who hasn’t encountered leaf drop, yellowing, or some other plant problem. A small plant clinic is designed as a place where plant lovers will be able to bring a whole plant or infected leaf/shoot samples for the determination of pests, diseases or nutritional disorders; get guidance for solving problems and, if necessary, a plant transplant service.

Nema uzgajivača bilja koji se nije susreo s opadanjem listova, žućenjem ili nekim drugim problemom kod biljaka. Mala biljna klinika zamišljena je kao mjesto gdje će ljubitelji biljaka moći donijeti cijelu biljku ili uzorke zaraženog lista/ izboja radi determinacije štetnika, bolesti ili poremećaja u ishrani; dobiti smjernice za rješavanje problema i prema potrebi uslugu presađivanja biljaka.
