Vascular plants in the "Garden of solovyov square" (Perm)

Since 2009, the territory of the Cook log No. 3 (Motovilikhinsky district of Perm), called the "Garden of Solovyov Square", has been improved and landscaped by local enthusiasts. Its total area is about 10 ha, but only the southern part, which is about 1.5 ha, is actually developed. It's used for planting ornamental species of woody and herbaceous plants. The work is carried out in accordance with the concept developed by the invited specialists. Within its framework, landings are carried out on the so-called "experimental sites". These are a kind of introduction spots where cultivars of a certain orientation are planted. In the summer of 2020, we conducted a survey of the species composition of vascular plants in the "Garden of Soloviev Square". A total of 290 species of vascular plants were found. Of these, 120 are wild-growing, 170 are cultivated, including 20 species - an old crop that has been preserved on the slopes since the existence of the "Michurinsky gardens". 9 species are invasive; 6 are listed in the Appendix to the Red book of the Perm region (2018), and one species, Geranium sanguineum, is listed in the Red book with status III. The square is intensively used for environmental education and enlightenment.
