Fascination of Plants Day

Zbliża się szósta edycja międzynarodowej akcji ‘Fascynujący Dzień Roślin’ 2024 (FoPD 2024), która będzie odbywać się na całym świecie pod auspicjami Europejskiej Organizacji Nauk o Roślinach (European Plant Science Organisation – EPSO).

Celem tej akcji jest zaprezentowanie pracy osób zafascynowanych światem roślin, a także przekazanie przesłania, że wiedza o roślinach jest niezmiernie ważna dla rozwoju rolnictwa, ogrodnictwa i leśnictwa oraz zrównoważonego wytwarzania żywności. Znajomość świata roślin ma równie ważne znaczenie w produkcji wszelkich produktów pochodzenia roślinnego, takich jak papier, drewno, odczynniki chemiczne, energia, czy farmaceutyki. Bardzo ważnym przesłaniem akcji jest również wskazanie znaczenia roślin dla zachowania środowiska. Zapraszamy wszystkich do przyłączenia się do tej inicjatywy!

June, which for students heralds the end of school and the beginning of summer holidays, in nature is a period of transition between spring and summer. In this extremely picturesque month, you can observe increased activity of pollinating insects. This time is characterized by special flowering plants, which we will have the opportunity to learn about during the classes. We will look not only at the hard work of bees, but also butterflies and other inhabitants of the Botanical Garden.
