Vegetation surrounds and accompanies us at every step. Vineyards are a specific landscape element typical for South Moravia. From a botanical point of view vineyards are a very distinctive environment which is also reflected in their species variety. Species with common occurrence as well as weeds can be found in the vineyards. Endangered species, and on other hand invasive species also form a part of vineyards. The diversity of vineyard vegetation can be used in the education of elderly citizens. Human senses such as sight, touch and smell can be used to identify plant species. Physical movement, learning about the plant traits and employment of human senses motivate human memory and evoke memories. Wide-ranging stimulation enables better memorization of new information. Learning about the vegetation of the vineyards provokes diverse interactions that are very important in the education of elederly citizens. The combination of exercise and education is an interesting option for recreation of elderly citizens.

Keywords: vegetation, vineyards, University of the Third Age, education, recreation of elderly citizens
