If funds permit, then you can equip a mini-fountain.

In addition to plants, the winter garden is decorated with posters and mock-ups. Since children do not yet know how to read, it is recommended to hang diagrams illustrating the stages of flower growth, maturation of the seed, pictures depicting the inhabitants of the forest, meadow, pond, etc. Here, too, are stored methodological materials for familiarizing preschool children with nature, literary works.

In the summer, the garden is shaded and ventilated, and in winter it is additionally illuminated.
