G. – H. Andersen.
Since ancient times, man has sought to decorate his home with plants . Interior landscaping arose as an element of human culture that meets his aesthetic needs. Man felt himself to be one with nature; he turned to it for healing, bringing a piece of living nature into his home. This desire was intuitive. Currently, a scientific approach to interior gardening involves combining the aesthetic perception of the beauty of the form, color of flowers and leaves of plants with another useful function of plants , which has long been known: living plants improve the composition of the air and purify the atmosphere.
Preschoolers spend most of the year in kindergarten, so it is necessary to decorate it with evergreens , which play not only an aesthetic and educational role, but also an educational one. Usually, in any kindergarten, in the corners of nature, there are many different plants brought, depending on their tastes and preferences, by teachers and children, and even parents. Indoor plants create a more comfortable environment, but there is another very important side to their presence - living plants have a beneficial and sometimes even healing effect on our well-being.
Indoor plants bring variety and harmony into our lives. By caring for them, a person is distracted from the bustle of the city, family problems, troubles in everyday life and at work. By observing indoor plants , we learn and grow with them , and we simply relax our souls.
