In mid-September, the first objects of the "Gardens and Flowers" festival, which decorated the center of the capital all summer, will be dismantled. Thanks to the festival, bridges have turned into flower beds hovering over the water, vertical green walls, water gardens, and picturesque fragrant alleys have appeared. Each of these objects is a unique work of landscape art, created by leading Russian architects and designers.
Residents and visitors of the city will still have time to admire the living masterpieces in the historical center of Moscow: the gardens near the Bolshoi Theater and on Manezhnaya Square, flower arrangements on Tverskoy and Chistoprudny Boulevards, green bridges across the Moskva River and vertical gardens decorating the streets. This is a chance to see the capital in its summer attire, created from thousands of plants from all over the world.
The first to start preparing for winter will be the park near the monument to P.I. Bagration with picturesque hills of wild grasses and flowers, as well as the squares near the Dobryninskaya, Krasnopresnenskaya and Ramenki metro stations. You will be able to see flowers, bushes, trees, art objects and relax on cozy benches until September 15.
The dismantling of landscape compositions will also begin on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. Here this summer, the main attraction was the "Barefoot Path" – a 100-meter path made of different materials, where guests can walk barefoot on smooth rounded pebbles, soft loose sand and warm wooden flooring. Pergolas with multi-colored roofs are installed along the perimeter of the path, creating amazing mosaic shadows. And the main character of the route is a giant inflatable elephant four meters high, which has already become a favorite of children and a background for hundreds of photos.
New Life for Flowers: Where the Plants Will Be Sent After the Festival
After dismantling, the compositions will not disappear – the plants will find a second life in scientific centers or become part of the urban landscape.
Part of the collection will go to the Moscow Zoo, where it will be used for landscaping the enclosures, and to the Moskino Cinema Park to enrich the landscape and interiors for filming. Other plants will be needed for landscaping areas in Moscow districts, and they will also be transferred to the N.V. Tsitsin Main Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences. They will replenish the garden's collection, becoming part of scientific work and educational programs.
A special batch of about five thousand southern plants, including cedars, pines, palms, lianas and rare species, will be sent to the Nikitsky Botanical Garden in Crimea and the Donetsk Botanical Garden. This is an important scientific mission.
The Donetsk Botanical Garden is one of the largest in Europe, occupying an area of over 200 hectares, where the richest collection of flora is stored and studied. The Nikitsky Botanical Garden in Crimea is the oldest scientific center in Russia, founded in the 19th century, with unique selection and acclimatization projects. In these institutions, plants will continue to live and inspire new visitors, being part of the scientific heritage of the country.
A Blooming City in Memory of Summer
Over the years, the Gardens and Flowers festival has become the largest project combining landscape design, environmental education and science. Every summer it fills Moscow with flowers, and in the fall the plants are sent to new homes – to the zoo, botanical gardens and scientific centers.
This year, Muscovites and guests of the capital had the opportunity to walk along shady alleys, look into water gardens, and see how living plants become part of architectural objects. City residents have a few more days to remember this beauty and share it with their loved ones.
"Summer in Moscow" — the main event of the season. The project is aimed at strengthening social and family ties, as well as the personal development of its participants. Thanks to a variety of programs, including educational, cultural and sports events, it unites Muscovites and guests of the city of different ages, social groups and creates conditions for obtaining new knowledge, creative growth and an active lifestyle.
