Based on visits to China and visits to public gardens, various parks and specialized botanical gardens, information is provided on how the work on teaching the basics of environmental knowledge or demonstrating the importance of nature conservation is organized. In China, it is becoming increasingly popular to return to the origins of the culture of different peoples inhabiting the country. Creation of ethnobotanical gardens, parks based on ethnic characteristics of each province enjoys increasing demand. For children and schoolchildren, master classes "mastering traditional farming and processing agricultural products" are organized in orchards. The transformation of industrial greenhouse complexes into botanical gardens occurs in many Chinese cities. Many of the findings of Chinese colleagues may well be introduced in our botanical and / or public gardens and parks.
