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.

Nowadays, the term “flower meadow” is associated with colorful carpets of flowers,
consisting of numerous plant species, most often annuals. However, it must be remembered that the fashion for flower meadows is much older.
A flower meadow, understood as a type of garden typical of the Middle Ages
Europe, had rich symbolism. This is evidenced by paintings and textiles from the 14th and 15th centuries, on the basis of which it is possible to reconstruct the appearance and species composition of the grasslands composed at that time. They consisted of low plants with beautiful flowers, almost each of which had a symbolic meaning. We will identify the species most often depicted by contemporary artists and learn their meaning, using the specific “language of flowers”

Burning plant incense is a common practice in ancient and modern cultures around the world. Also in today’s Poland, herbs, wood and resins have long been used to produce fragrant smoke. Incense had its place in both religious rituals and everyday magical practices. They were primarily assigned a cleansing and healing role. Today we know that incense smoke contains a number of volatile compounds with bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and psychoactive properties, among others. During the lecture, we will consider the actual biological and pharmacological effects (and safety) of burning aromatic plant materials obtained from fields and forests.

We invite all people interested in the world of nature and who want to actively learn about the diversity of meadow plant species. The proposed place is rich in, among others: in the habitats of molinian meadows (variably wet), the richest plant communities of meadows, and at the same time with the largest number of rare and endangered species. It will also be an opportunity to look at the thermophilic hills and dunes, which have been around since the 19th century. ages are planned to be protected! There are economically useful, medicinal, edible, protected, rare, attractive and beautiful plants here. Fullusz is a meadow gem in the region!
Organizational information: Transport to the meeting point on your own. Near the meeting point there is a Kowalewo-Nowy Świat bus stop (Bydgoszcz-Żnin route). Cars can be left at the beginning of the nature trail or at a gas station. Please stock up on provisions and outdoor clothing. You can take Nordic walking poles, we will return partly along the same route, then you can go at your own pace. The estimated distance is approximately 10-12 km of the walking route.
The trip is addressed to a wide range of people: naturalists, families, local residents, and people actively spending time in nature. Due to the long route of the march and possible flooding in places, please adjust the age and condition of the people registered. At the request of people who register the event, certificates of participation in the Campaign will be issued.

Cyanotype is a photographic technique invented in the mid-19th century that uses the light sensitivity of iron salts. Prints made using this technique are characterized by a blue tint. Cyanotype was used to reproduce photographs, documents, maps and plans. It also gained popularity thanks to Anna Atkins and other scientists who used it to catalog plant samples. During the workshops you will be able to make your own print using negatives and dried plants.

Environmental biomonitoring involves the use of, among others, plants to assess the state of the environment. Thanks to them, we are able to determine air quality and soil pollution. Some of the most frequently used plants in biomonitoring research include coniferous trees, especially pine.
What is the difference between proper bioindicators and bioaccumulators? What pollutants do they store? How can we measure environmental pollution with them? Why are pine trees so important? When walking through the forest, are we able to assess the state of the environment ourselves?
We will answer these and other questions during the lecture.

The plants of our climate zone have acclimatized to the seasons and cyclically changing temperatures. In autumn, with the days getting shorter and the temperature dropping, many of them begin to accumulate reserves in the form of proteins, sugars and lipids in their cells and rebuild cellular structures. Then, at temperatures around 0°C, these plants shed leaves that could be damaged by frost, reduce the water content in their tissues and fall into a deep rest, remaining suspended until spring.
Some coniferous and herbaceous plants have adopted a different strategy – they survive the winter actively, their leaves remain green and conduct photosynthesis. This requires a variety of structural and metabolic adaptations for cells to be able to survive temperatures below 0°C despite high water content.
Increasing temperatures for both types of plants mean a return to normal activity, rapid growth and development. However, sometimes sudden spring frosts can destroy cells that have already lost their winter protective mechanisms.
Can plants protect themselves against such a disaster? We will talk about “cold gardeners” and ways to deal with spring frosts during the lecture during the online session on our website.

The foreland of the Uisu glacier in the Eastern Pamir (Tajikistan) is a very inhospitable place. Extremely low rainfall and high sunlight are accompanied by low temperatures, which determine, among others, presence of permafrost. However, even in such a place, living organisms appear – the simplest ones, forming biological soil crusts, and the more complex ones, i.e. vascular plants with growth forms specific to these conditions. During a virtual trip to the high mountains, we will learn about pioneer organisms and the secrets of scientists’ work in such difficult terrain.

Flowers have always been present in the human diet, but in recent years the scale of their culinary uses and the popularity of various flower diets have increased significantly. However, not all flowers are edible, and most lose their freshness quickly. So is it worth eating flowers?

Plant scaffolds in biomedical engineering is a fascinating research branch that uses natural plant materials to create load-bearing structures (scaffolds) used in bioengineering and regenerative therapy. The scaffold is a key element in tissue engineering because it provides support for cells and enables their proper arrangement, proliferation and differentiation. Using plant materials as scaffolds has many advantages, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, ease of access, and low cost. One of the popular plant materials used in biomedical engineering is cellulose. Cellulose is the main component of plant cell walls and can be modified to obtain various properties such as porosity, mechanical strength and biodegradability. Cellulose scaffolds can potentially be used, among others, for the regeneration of bones, skin and nerves. The use of plant scaffolds in biomedical engineering opens interesting perspectives for the development of effective methods for reconstructing human tissues.

We invite all people interested in the world of nature and who want to actively learn about the diversity of meadow plant species. The proposed place is rich in, among others: in the habitats of molinian meadows (variably wet), the richest plant communities of meadows, and at the same time with the largest number of rare and endangered species. It will also be an opportunity to look at the thermophilic hills and dunes, which have been around since the 19th century. ages are planned to be protected! There are economically useful, medicinal, edible, protected, rare, attractive and beautiful plants here. Fullusz is a meadow gem in the region!
Organizational information: Transport to the meeting point on your own. Near the meeting point there is a Kowalewo-Nowy Świat bus stop (Bydgoszcz-Żnin route). Cars can be left at the beginning of the nature trail or at a gas station. Please stock up on provisions and outdoor clothing. You can take Nordic walking poles, we will return partly along the same route, then you can go at your own pace. The estimated distance is approximately 10-12 km of the walking route.
The trip is addressed to a wide range of people: naturalists, families, local residents, and people actively spending time in nature. Due to the long route of the march and possible flooding in places, please adjust the age and condition of the people registered. At the request of people who register the event, certificates of participation in the Campaign will be issued.
