THE USE OF MEDICINAL PLANTS IN LANDSCAPE DESIGN IN THE STEPPE ZONE OF UKRAINE
Abstract
The article provides data on the use of medicinal plants in landscaping of the Steppe zone of Ukraine, special attention is paid to the creation of a rock garden. Medicinal plants have been widely used by man throughout his entire existence. Today, scientists are very interested in this group of plants due to the emergence of a pandemic caused by the deadly COVID-19 virus. It has been established that the phytochemicals of these plants are potential drugs against this virus. When creating a rock garden from herbaceous medicinal plants, the generally accepted methods were used in gardening art. And also the landscape-ecological method was used, which takes into account the relationship between vegetation and biotope. Despite the fact that rock gardens have long been used in landscape design, their popularity in the design of various landscape objects does not lose its relevance today. A rock garden is a composition of a combination of plants with stones organically located at different levels. The analysis of scientific publications has shown that the study of the use of medicinal plants in this method of gardening is insufficiently covered. In our proposed version of the rock garden, plant species that are adapted to the specific climate conditions of the Steppe zone will be used. At the same time, the flowering time, height, seasonal decorativeness and harmonious combination were taken into account. The range of medicinal rock garden proposed in this article is represented by the following species and their hybrid forms: Teucrium chamaedrys L., Mentha piperita L., Mentha spicata L., Mentha longifolia (L.) Huds., Mentha suaveolens Ehrh., Melissa officinalis L., Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench., Salvia sclarea L., Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton, Monarda didyma L., Origanum vulgare L., Hyssopus officinalis L., Thymus serpyllum L., Thymus vulgaris L., Thymus ? citriodorus (Pers.) Schreb, Satureja montana L. Perovskia atriplicifolia Benth.
