Abstract
The use of elements of vertical landscaping on streets that are the most visited and belong to the historical part of the city of Kyiv was studied. An inspection of the plants was carried out, the species composition was determined, the condition was assessed and groups were selected for decorative qualities. The results of the survey and assessment showed that decorative vines in these parts of the city are represented by 4 orders, 4 families, 5 genera, 8 species and one form. All species belong to the department of Angiosperms (Magnoliophyta). They are divided into perennial woody vines and annual herbaceous vines. It was found that not all the investigated historical streets of the city of Kyiv have elements of vertical landscaping. Having determined the general decorativeness, it can be stated that most plants have sufficient decorativeness and only a small percentage - insignificant. Based on the data of the researches, the division of creeping plants was carried out according to decorative qualities and it was established that the majority of vines are decorative leaves. There are fewer plants that are decorative with leaves and flowers, as well as those that are valued for their fruits. The age of the plants ranges from 5 years to 30 or more years. All plants are in satisfactory and good condition, but need constant care. For a more aesthetic appearance of plants against the background of buildings or structures, it is necessary to use more modern methods of vertical gardening. Comparing the number of plantings of thorny plants and plantings of trees and bushes, it was established that vertical landscaping is sufficient on certain streets, and on some streets it needs to be developed and improved.
