Abstract:
Gardening for pollinators and other flower-visiting insects, where ornamental landscaping plants are added to provide habitats and foraging resources, may provide substantial benefits to declining insect populations. However, plant recommendations often lack empirical grounding or are limited geographically. Here, we created a pollinator garden, replicated across two sites, that contained 25 ornamental landscape plants that were either native or non-native to mid-Atlantic states and perennial or annual. Our objective was to determine the plants that would bring insect abundance and diversity to gardens. We surveyed the number and taxonomy of insects visiting the plants for two summers. We found a significant effect of plant species on both the abundance and diversity of flower-visiting insects. Insects were 42 times more abundant on our most visited plant (black-eyed Susan, Rudbeckia fulgida) versus our least visited plant (petunia, Petunia sp.). There was more than one diversity point difference in the Shannon index between the plant with the most (purple coneflower, Echinacea purpurea) and least (verbena, Verbena bonariensis) diverse visitors. Across our plants, honey bee (Apis mellifera) abundance positively correlated with other insect pollinators, although not specifically with wild bee abundance. Native perennials outperformed non-native perennials and non-native annuals in insect abundance, and both non-native and native perennials attracted more diversity than non-native annuals. Across plants, diversity scores quadratically related to insect abundance, where the highest diversity was seen on the plants with medium abundance. Lastly, we present the weighted sums of all insect visitors per plant, which will allow future gardeners to make informed landscaping decisions. Overall, we have shown that gardening schemes could benefit from a data-driven approach to better support abundant and diverse insect populations within ornamental landscape gardens.

Abstract:
Aim. The aim to identify valuable source material from the number of intraspecific, interspecific and intergeneric hybrids of stone fruit plants to improve and expand the varietal composition of peach that meets the needs of industrial and amateur gardening. Methods. Program and methods of varietal study of fruit, berry and nut crops / Ed. G. A. Lobanov. Michurinsk, 1973. 492 p. Program and methods of selection of fruit, berry and nut crops / Ed. G. A.

New genotypes of peach, which are sources of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), were selected; large-fruited peach I4 970-89 was isolated, as a pollinator for genotypes with male sterility; in the population of hybrid seedlings F2 (peach of the world x David peach) we identified new genotypes of plants with absent characters in their original species; with resistance to powdery mildew and leaf curl, dwarf plant growth, forms with decorative double flowers, white, pink and purple-red color of the petals of the corolla, bell-shaped and rosy flower types, male sterility, pollen fertility and honey taste of the fruit inherited from his wild ancestor - David peach. Summary. Selected maternal genotypes of the original parental forms of apricot, with a character of CMS - 189-88, 249-81, 498-86. They are of breeding value for the development of new peach cultivars. Peach I4 970-89 of the Nikitsky Botanical Gardens’ breeding is a pollinator for hybrids of peach with common almond, characterized by male sterility. Valuable characters of David peach could be transferred to common peach and its cultivars as a result of natural hybridization due to their joint growth in the primary Chinese-Japanese genetic center. From wild ancestor, David peach common peach cultivars inherited such valuable characteristics as resistance to powdery mildew and leaf curl, dwarf growth of plants, shapes with decorative double flowers, white, pink and purple-red petals of the corolla campanulate and rose-like types of flower, male sterility, pollen fertility and the honey taste of the fruit.

Abstract:
Information is given on geographical distribution and causes of decline of populations in the natural environment of protected species iris dwarf (I. pumila L.).Gives a brief description of the biological characteristics and the necessity of saving iris in Botanical gardens. Studied the adaptive properties of 5 samples of I. pumila of different geographical origin in the conditions of introduction in the Central Botanical garden of NAS of Belarus. Pronalazenje established phases of regeneration, budding, flowering and fruiting in the local context. Confirmed by literary data about the fragility of I. pumila in the culture: the plants fall to 3–4 year of life. The expediency of sexual reproduction dwarf iris in order to preserve the collection Fund. Tested 2 methods of seed propagation. The most interesting in the decorative plants. Evaluated the adaptive capacity of 8 varieties of miniature dwarf irises foreign selection, created with the participation of I. pumila. Conducted primary and comparative grade score, including ornamental and economic-biological features of varieties. Long-term observations revealed that in the conditions of introduction of miniature dwarf irises are all the stages of ontogenesis, yearly flower and fruit. Winter without shelter. Relatively resistant to diseases and pests. The use of wild I. pumila in gardening is limited by its biological features. Varieties, differing variety of colors, due to the early timing of flowering, abundant flowering and high rate of vegetative propagation is recommended for use in landscaping plantings.

Abstract:
Background and objective: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the psychological effect of the visual image of tropicalesque flower landscape and the preference for plants, and the effect of the importance of plants on loyalty.Methods: A survey was conducted with 105 participants who attended a symposium on tropicalesque flower landscaping, and the results were analyzed.Results: As a result of comparatively analyzing the psychological indices of plants in terms of the level of gardening activity (3 factors such as gardening experience, plant preference tendency, and plant-related event) between horticulture majors and workers in related fields and general people, it was found that horticulture majors and workers in related fields showed a higher level of gardening activity than general people, with gardening experience particularly showing statistical significance (<i>p</i> < .05). Preference for ‘Pretoria’ was the highest among four varieties of <i>Canna × generalis</i>. Preference for mixed planting of tropicalesque and indoor foliage plants was highest among three types of tropicalesque flower landscape. Preference for tropicalesque flower landscape was highest in the 50s among all age groups, and in the group with an average monthly income of 4.01-5 million won, showing statistical significance. Among 6 factors of perceived importance of plants, esthetics and emotional relaxation for improved quality of life showed high scores in the survey measuring perceived importance of plants. As a result of conducting a regression analysis to examine the effect of the level of gardening activity, importance of plants, preference for tropicalesque flower landscape, and demographic variables (control variables) on loyalty, flower landscape preference was the most influential variable, followed by esthetics among the 6 factors of importance.Conclusion: These results suggest that by increasing the formation of tropicalesque flower landscape, a natural landscape that can reduce negative factors such as increased stress and depression since the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be possible to reduce fatigue caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and improve the quality of life for citizens.

Abstract:
Campanula alliariifolia Willd. is a promising ornamental crop for container gardening in human settlements. The species is listed in the Red Data Book of the Volgograd region. The aim of the work is to study the effect of Bacillus subtilis alone and in combination with salicylic acid on the decorative qualities of the Campanula alliariifolia. The experiment was carried out in culture based on the collection site of the South-Ural Botanical Garden-Institute in 2021–2022. The effect of growth regulators on the phenology, growth dynamics, some morphometric indicators, the level of individual variability and the evaluation of the decorative qualities of C. alliariifolia was studied. The analysis of growth dynamics showed that during the study period, the maximum increase per day was observed in plants inoculated with B. subtilis. The degree of individual variability of the biometric parameters ranged from 6.1 (leaf thickness with B. subtilis) to 87.9% (number of flowers in an inflorescence with the combination of B. subtilis with salicylic acid). A two-factor analysis of variance showed that the effect of factor A (seasonal variability) was significant for flower and plant height, leaf length and width, inflorescence density and number of flowers in an inflorescence. The proportion of variance of the parameters ranged from 35.8 to 83.9%. The effect of factor B (different experimental options) and A×B is statistically significant only for flower diameter. There is only an average correlation between the diameter and the height of the flower. Only the flower characteristics are strongly related to each other. The study showed that the optimal option for increasing the scores for ornamentality, flowering frequency and inflorescence density of C. alliariifolia is to inoculate the plants with B. subtilis.

Abstract:
Balinese Hindu community cannot be separated from plant in their life. The information on plant species and how to utilize them are easy to find but limited information about the potency of flowers in the Balinese Hindu community. Flowers have a meaning as sincerity, a symbol of Sang Hyang Widhi, the valour, and also have mythological values. This research aimed to determine the species of flowering plants that are often used for ceremonial and understand the meaning, the cultural conception related to conservation education. The study was carried out in four locations in Tabanan Regency (Baturiti, Penebel, Marga, and Tabanan). Data were collected using an interview with purposive sampling. Data analysis based on the value of Relative Frequency (FR) which is indicated plant most widely used. Â A total of 36 species of flowers are used in traditional Hindu religious ceremonies, of which 29 species are cultivated plants and 7 species are still wild. There are ten of plants which have high FR value, such as: Cananga odorata (FR 0.069), Impatiens balsamina (FR 0.069), Hydrangea macrophylla (FR 0.069), Plumeria acuminata (FR 0.069), Tagetes erecta (FR 0.069), Magnolia champaca (FR 0.069), Gomphrena globosa / bunga ratna (FR 0.047), Gardenia jasminoides / jempiring (FR 0.039), Nymphaea spp./ tunjung (FR 0.030), and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L./ pucuk (FR 0.030). This research revealed the role of flower in Hindu ceremony and describe the strategic plant conservation due to culture of Balinese Hindu community. Finally, this research expected to documented local knowledge about flowers used as Hindu religious ceremonies, to provide an understanding of the meaning and conceptions of culture related to conservation education.

Abstract:
Representatives of the genus Pelargonium L'Нer belong to one of the most common flower crops. Today, thousands of highly ornamental pelargonium species (zonal, large-flowered, ivy-leaved, fragrant, unique, and angels) are used in landscaping cities around the world. Therefore, the need for accelerated reproduction of valuable plants most adapted to local conditions increases. The implementation of the planned landscaping programs at the present stage can be successfully implemented if they are based on the results of scientific research. The solution of these issues will open up wide opportunities for the use of pelargonium in landscape gardening of the Nikitsky Gardens and the Crimea as a whole.

Abstract:
Consumer interest and market surveys play an important role in determining what consumer wants and needs are from an industry. These surveys can also serve the role of preparing students for their future jobs in the industry. The horticulture industry is no different. Companies need to know what consumer interests and needs are so they can serve them better. Likewise, students need to know what areas of horticulture are receiving the highest demand by consumers so they can prepare themselves better. A consumer preference study was conducted at the Topeka, Kan., “Lawn, Garden, and Flower Show” by members of the Kansas State Univ. Horticulture Club. The objectives of the survey were to determine: 1) the specific gardening interests of the respondents, 2) the demand for educational materials on specific gardening areas by the respondents, 3) what the respondents' garden buying habits were, and 4) what the respondents' plant selection preferences were. Survey respondents indicated that, when selecting plant material, plant quality was the most important criterion used, while plant packaging was of least importance. Plant size and price were only given some importance in the plant selection decision. Other results of the survey will be presented.

Abstract:
Active engagement in green spaces has been shown to improve physical, mental, and social well-being. Blending the topics of forest bathing, therapeutic sensory gardens, and nature meditations, this chapter will unpack the therapeutic effects of active and passive engagement in green spaces. Frequent exposure to and engagement in green spaces has been found to decrease feelings of anxiety, social isolation, and stress levels. Spending time in green spaces can promote restoration and recovery from daily stressors. With the perspectives of the authors' expertise in holistic health as occupational therapy practitioners, the chapter will explore how the influence of usage and dosage of green spaces potentially impact stress, social isolation, and well-being to facilitate occupational balance (flow). This chapter will report how green spaces have been assessed in the current evidence and the questions that remain regarding the impact on personal, group, and population well-being.

Abstract:
Many of us who work with pencil, pen, or computer like to vary the intellectual routine by doing something “real.” Some build cabinets and canoes, some sing in choral groups, others join first aid squads. I take care of our garden. Gardening is an especially good activity for eggheads because it combines physical labor with the opportunity to be creative. Unlike the ideas in the books I write, however, my creations in the gar-den are quickly put to the test. My experience last summer is a case in point. I like to eat what I grow, so I have little patience with flowers and other ornamentals. I tolerate the ones that were planted around the house when we first arrived: yew, hemlock, cherry laurel, forsythia, flame azalea—the usual things provided by botanically challenged, cost-conscious builders. If these woody perennials get sick I do what I can for them, given my lack of knowledge and low level of interest. Some times I fertilize, sometimes I continue to refrain from fertilizing, depending on my intuition in the particular case. The same goes for watering. Our flame azalea is down to one tiny branch with eleven leaves on it, about the same as last year. I don’t know whether I am keeping it alive against all odds, or preventing it from making the full recovery that it would be capable of if cared for by somebody else. I view my role in the treatment of our ornamental plantings like that of the remote HMO clerk who makes the critical decisions in a complex medical case; any unfortunate consequences of my ignorance are not of great concern. Fruits and vegetables are another matter. I am not much more knowledgeable about them than about azaleas, but I try a lot harder. Because this is a story about vegetables, I will skip the fruits, except to note that we pick our own sour cherries, figs, peaches, plums, grapes, apricots, and apples—in sharply decreasing order of abundance (squirrels got all of my apples this year).

Abstract:
The concept of green roofs is not new, it has developed long time back, but it has never been spoken largely until the sudden manifestation of a pandemic that struck nations worldwide. The pandemic has made urban residents to realize the importance of converting their grey to green roofs. The benefits of green roofs is manifold in nature as they not only add to aesthetically pleasing landscape but rather absorb rainwater, keeps the building warm, minimize air pollution, decrease stress of the people, improved human health and air quality. People now realize that green roof is the need of the hour because it promotes healthy living in cities in terms of nutritious food consumption, better air quality, and provide sense of mental peace and an agent of destressing busy life of the urban dwellers. Cities have been gradually been a better place since pandemic due to people’s choice to opt for gardening due to lockdown. So, in order to kill boredom, the urban residents opted gardening like vegetables, trees, and flowers on their grey roofs which in turn contributed to healthy cities. Thus, this paper will accentuate the significance of green roofs which in turn betters urban environment that have contributed for healthy living in cities.
