Secondary abstract:	In the time when we can buy most food in stores, children hardly know the origin of food ingredients. The purpose of my thesis was to provide children with a concrete experience of plants production, namely herbs, their processing, use in nutrition and a sensory experience of them. I researched the knowledge of 3–6 year olds on herbs. Along herbs and products, containing herbs, I carried out verbal polls. Based on the gained results, from which it is clear, that children poorly know herbs, I prepared different activities in an experimental group. Children came to know herbs through own experience, they grew them in a herbal garden, learned about their use in nutrition and sensuously experienced them. At the end of the activities I again questioned the children from the experimental and control group about herbs as before and compared the results. I found out that children from the experimental group gained a lot of knowledge on herbs, but it is interesting, that the knowledge also increased in the control group. I conclude that active learning with a direct experience is a successful method of gaining knowledge on the plant food origin. During gardening children also developed social relationships, formed a relationship with human beings, got to know their needs and developed a positive attitude towards including herbs in their diet.

Abstract (ePrints):	V času, ko lahko večino živil kupimo v trgovini, otroci skoraj ne poznajo več izvora sestavin prehrane. Namen moje diplomske naloge je bil otrokom ponuditi konkretno izkušnjo pridelave rastlin, natančneje zelišč, njihove predelave, uporabe v prehrani ter čutno doživetje le teh. Raziskovala sem, koliko 3–6 letni otroci vedo o zeliščih. Ob primerih zelišč in izdelkov, ki zelišča vsebujejo, sem izvedla ustne ankete. Na podlagi dobljenih podatkov, iz katerih je razvidno, da otroci slabo poznajo zelišča, sem v eksperimentalni skupini pripravila različne dejavnosti. Otroci so preko lastnih izkušenj spoznali razvoj rastlin, jih gojili v zeliščnem vrtu, spoznavali njihovo uporabnost v prehrani ter jih čutno doživeli. Ob zaključku dejavnosti sem otrokom iz eksperimentalne in kontrolne skupine ponovno zastavila ustni vprašalnik, ki je bil identičen prvemu ter primerjala dobljene rezultate. Ugotovila sem, da so otroci v eksperimentalni skupini pridobili veliko znanja o zeliščih. Zanimivo pa je, da se je znanje povečalo tudi v kontrolni skupini. Zaključujem, da je aktivno učenje z neposredno izkušnjo uspešna metoda pridobivanja znanja o rastlinskem izvoru hrane. Ob vrtnarjenju so otroci razvijali tudi socialne odnose, oblikovali odnos do živih bitij in spoznavali njihove življenjske potrebe ter razvili pozitivni odnos do vključevanja zelišč v njihovo prehrano.
