Экскурсия на английском языке по Железногорскому дендрарию "The botanical garden of Zheleznogorsk"

Данная экскурсия подготовлена в рамках межрегионального сетевого проекта  "Discoverer14+\2017"    Мы не стали уходить уж очень далеко от нашего региона и остановились на нашем Железногорском дендрарии. Вот что у нас получилось. Ребятам пришлось трудно, так как странные названия растений даже на русском вызвали у нас трудности, но, я думаю, что мы справились с поставленной задачей.


Чередова Юля: I greatly love my region,
It’sforests, people, lakes,
It’s cities, kind and friendly people,
It’s rivers, villages, plains.
Kursk Region is very rich in natural recourses. We can travel all over the country and see marvelous places. But before doing this let’s start with our little Motherland. Our region is full of rivers, lakes, and forests. Have you ever heardour nightingales sing? Have you ever walked among our slim birches?How many protected places and parks are there in our region? We won’t go to the far-away places; we invite you to visit our native town Zheleznogorsk to explore its coziest nook – our botanical garden.
The arboretum can be found in the southern suburb of our town in the natural parkland and it belongs to one of the most beautiful places for both grown-ups and children. An intricate wrought-iron fence surrounding the garden is in fact the only thing that separates its hand-selectedvegetation fromthe natural forest.
Черноухов Артем: The arboretum was laid out on the 13th of June 2006. Its total area in contrast to the huge nature reserves is only 2,4 hectare.
Since that time more than 500 kinds of bushes, trees, lianas have been planted there. Some of these species are rare and endangered and, sadly, the world can see little of them in the wild.
One can hardly overestimate the input of the local botanical garden in all the varieties of its roles: aesthetic, educational, formative – to name just a few of them, especially, when it comes to enlightening people of all ages on the topics of ecology, conservation and enrichment of the vegetable world of our "Nightingale region".
The arboretum is not a forest with ancient trees which werespared the fate of beingcut down but it is rather an extraordinary natural museum of the trees and bushes from all over the world, a manmade park in the open air.
Курова Полина: The area of the local arboretum is divided into 34 sectors of irregular shapes– mostly diamond or V-shaped -  where one can admire not only the picturesque emerald patches of rare trees and bushes from other continents but also the local glades of wild grasses and woody plant species.
Our local birches, willows and maples have found some new neighbours, exotic and curious, such as double-cavity ginkgo, thatis known to have existed before the Ice Age and is called the living fossil, Amoor cork tree, cross-bred catalpa, ordinary fustic, rhododendrons and dozens of other plants. In our park you can stand under the fir-trees, pines, larches or other coniferous trees that are numerous on the territory and enjoy the fragrance of the North.
The pine-trees are rich in the life-giving phytoncides that aromatize and clean the air and thereby they help support people’s health and fight with air pollution – a burning issue our plants and cars create on a daily basis.
The visitorsare particularly delighted to find the rhododendrons, the almonds, and the fuzzy deutzias in bloom. As for the mademoiselle weigela – it has adapted to thenatural conditions of our region so nicely that itis in bloom from the beginning of June up to the first frost. Where else can you see such a fabulous magnificence, variety of color andscent in one place.

Кривонос Соня: Each sector is interesting and unique in its own way. But the most popular place of our natural park is the Alpine slide, which acts as a natural protection from adverse weather conditions for the early-flowering, deciduous and evergreen rhododendrons.
Next to the rhododendrons there are more than 20 species of evergreen plants. They are the Balkan pine, the white cedar, the spherical fir-tree. These trees decorate the area where the comfortable wooden alcove is situated. Here the visitors of the park have an opportunity to rest and admire the flowers on the flowerbeds and listen to the gurgle of the waterfall.


Герасимук: Throughout the arboretum there are comfortable benches, backed by pergolas, with the fragrant aroma of climbing and landscape roses.
In cozy dark places where the Manchurian walnut, Seabold’s walnut tree, as well as larches and pines grow there are snug and quiet recesses with oak furniture, where you can be at one with nature.
It’s impossible to advise the best time for visiting the park because every 15 days you can watch the new blooming and other colours.
One cannot but enjoy the numerous flowerbeds of all shapes and sizes adorned by quarry stone. These bright spots delight the eye with their lush diversity at all times no matter if the ornamental shrubs have just commenced or already ceased blossoming.
Among the coniferous fir-trees and flowerbeds there is a small nice household building with a recently renovated facade.
Курова Полина: State services program made it possible for more than 2000 preschoolers and schoolchildren of our town and its districts to attend the arboretum and listen to the information on its history and flora. Local media often brings the botanical park into focus and covers its work and condition.
So, our excursion is over. We are happy to acquaint you with our natural reserve and we are proud of living in the area with such picturesque surroundings. We invite you to visit our town and admire our arboretum.
