Moscow is hosting the landscape festival “Summer in Moscow. Gardens and Flowers.” Over 500,000 plants have been brought to Moscow specifically for the festival.
The scale of the festival is impressive, covering the entire metropolis. More than 50 traditional exhibition gardens will appear in the capital — landscape spaces immersed in colors and greenery with walking and lounge areas. Additionally, over 650 small floral objects will transform familiar urban spaces.
“Summer in Moscow. Gardens and Flowers” is gradually gaining momentum: locations are opening sequentially and are situated both in the familiar central locations of the metropolis — Manezh Square and Exchange Square, the stairs of the Russian State Library, Kuznetsky Most and Novy Arbat; and in new areas — Pushkin Square and Triumphal Square, Tverskaya Street, Kutuzovsky Avenue.
Blooming gardens, modules, and art objects are being installed in parks and on pedestrian routes, on bridges and near metro stations, at railway and river stations, shopping centers, MFCs, polyclinics, maternity hospitals, and registry offices — social objects will also become festival locations this year.
More than 50 squares, streets, and squares are immersed in greenery and flowers, which can be enjoyed in comfortable lounge areas. Additionally, floral installations have been placed near social objects such as polyclinics, multifunctional offices “My Documents,” business and shopping centers, metro stations, registry offices, and maternity hospitals.
New festival sites will continue to appear until the cold weather sets in. After the festival ends on September 8, these plants will be transferred to the Moscow Zoo and Botanical Garden.
