Landscape architects, designers, horticulturists, professionals, students and anyone who appreciates the exquisiteness of the outdoors, the Moscow Festival of Gardens and Flowers is an event you don’t want to miss! Inspired by the 100 Jubilee of the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show held annually in May in the UK, the festival in Moscow is on its way to becoming its friendly competition. Organized for a second consecutive year by the GPLI (Guild of Professionals in Landscape Industry) in Russia, the venue is the largest annual event in landscape architecture in the country, attracting more than 70,000 visitors, including some of the top professionals from Europe and the USA. Located in the heart of the Russian metropolis in the historical Gorki Park, the 2.2 hectares of green oasis invite visitors for 6 days of escape from the city. Visitors will have the opportunity to dive into the immense diversity that landscape design, nature and art offer. Dividing the event into 3 main topics; competitive, educational and entertaining, the organizers have made sure to keep everyone engaged regardless of their interest and professional orientation. There is speculation that the event will open with an exclusive designer’s showcase “Flower Dress”, which will invite guests to a one-of-a-kind fashion and flowers exposition. However, this has not been confirmed. An exhibition of paintings created from natural flowers, landscape and floral lectures, and master classes from top specialists are on the schedule as well. One of the main topics for this years’ event is “Gardens That Cure”. The organizers even offer educational and entertainment programs for children and families too.
