Exhibit of Russia

Subject of the Russian exhibit is “Russian Garden: From Roots to Fruits”. Blooming gardens in different regions of Russia and the world-famous play by A. Chekhov formed the image of a Russian garden, bright, summer, fragrant, with shady corners and sunny meadows. 1,800 square meters area includes three art objects, symbolizing the harmony of nature and man in modern parks. Landscapes around them illustrate biological diversity of Russian regions: the middle Russia, the Far East, Crimea and the Caucasus: in total, 87 plants will be represented on the territory of the Russian exhibit. Plants are located taking into account their natural layering: from short-growing to tall plants, shrubs and trees.

Smart garden

The revolutionary pre-format of city parks in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Krasnodar, Tula, Kaliningrad is a worthful experience of modern Russia, which we are proud of and present to the world. Regarding the level of green spaces, the capital of Russia has already overtaken such "park" agglomerations as New York and London.

Exhibit organizers tended to show Russia not only as a country whose inhabitants for hundreds of years, from noble estates to Soviet culture parks, know how and love to implement garden and park projects. Modern Russia actively develops green innovations that help to cultivate cataclysmic garden crops, carefully use soil, and harvest unique tasty fruits from nature. Visitors will learn about developments of leading Russian scientific centers, such as the All-Russian Institute of Gardening named after I.V. Michurin, Novosibirsk State Agrarian University and others.
