Aptekarsky garden
Perhaps this small but very green spot in the center of Moscow is one of the most amazing places in the capital. You can visit the Aptekarsky Garden in winter, autumn, summer or spring, but the best time here is in March-April.
If you want to know, what color and size tulips are, then you are here. You can’t think of a better place for walking: from year to year in the Pharmaceutical Garden there are only more flowers. tulip bulbs planted right in the rotten stumps of the park, flocks of turtles that come out to bask in the sun.There is another little-known plant in the garden - crimson, originally from Japan.A sign says that closer to autumn, when its leaves turn yellow, it begins to smell gingerbread. And in one variety, the leaves are generally shaped like hearts.
The apothecary garden does not stand still - every year it becomes more and more interesting to go here. not to look at the official website of the park, but to buy a ticket, go through the glass doors and freeze. Because another exhibition has arrived, and now wooden hands and snails are installed in the alleys of the park, balls are hung over the pond, and all visitors are given skates to skate on pink ice. In general, the park is full of surprises.
And even more original is what they decided to do with the dilapidated roofs of greenhouses. The old building was covered with glass so as not to relocate giant palm trees and a patch of pineapples. The second greenhouse was expanded and even more interesting: plants were planted next to it, and only then they began to gradually build a shelter over them. Several misfortunes also happened to the Pharmaceutical Garden: in the spring of 2013, someone broke the pier near the old pond, and a little later, for some reason, Twitter was hacked. But in 1924, when all of Moscow was sitting without heating, the right temperature was maintained in the greenhouses - otherwise all this diversity would not have existed.
The garden has a garden of medicinal plants, which gave the name to all this wealth: fennel grows there, burnet and other medicinal herbs. You can take a walk in the park without problems, but you will not be allowed to go on an excursion to the greenhouse where araucaria, cork tree and bergamot bear fruit without a guide. The main magnet for most Muscovites is the Orchid Festival, which takes place every winter until March. The garden closes only for a few weeks at the end of March: bulbous plants are planted en masse and prepared for the annual flower festival.
The Apothecary Garden is very well located - it is surrounded by houses on all sides, and therefore magnolia blooms here every year. By the way, it grows on the ruins of some building. There are also sakura and a whole palm greenhouse in the park.
Also, the Apothecary Garden is an unusual art center that combines nature and art. The greenhouses host concerts of classical, jazz and rock music, which have already become an original cultural landmark of the capital.
