In Stryi Park, they plan to arrange a large flower bed that will connect several areas-spaces. Plants native to the Carpathian, Crimean and steppe areas will be planted there.
The flowerbed that will be arranged will be the largest in Stryi Park and will consist of several sections-spaces separated by paths – the Carpathian, Crimean and steppe zones. Each of these parts of Ukraine will be represented by plants that are specific to these latitudes.
So, red rue, fern blossoms, Carpathian bells, daffodils, elderberry and cereals are planned to be planted in a part of the flowerbed that will represent the Carpathian region. The Crimean zone and the southern part will amaze with the aromas of juniper, Crimean pine, and hyacinths. In the summer, they want to bring tropical plants from the greenhouse of Stryi Park here. Roses, medicinal meadow herbs and cereals will greet visitors in the steppe zone.
The author of the idea of such a flower bed is Natalya Goncharova, who came to Lviv from Mariupol at the beginning of the Russian aggression, where she was engaged in landscape design.
“The creation of a flower bed, where different parts of Ukraine will be represented by plants characteristic of these regions, was inspired by Stryi Park itself. When you enter the park from the central part, on the left there are slopes, a cascade of streams – all of which are associated with the Carpathians. On the right, from the southern part of the park, there is a greenhouse where southern plants grow, and in the middle of the park there is a steppe zone.
In addition, the park is a monument of garden and park art of national importance. With such a status, plants representing different latitudes of our country will graze on it,” said the author of the future flower bed.
Yes, the flower bed will be near the monument to Jan Kilinsky and the cascade of streams. The idea is planned to be implemented soon. For this, a tender for the execution of works is already being prepared.
There is also a visualization of the entrance group to the park “From Crimea to the Carpathians”. The video was provided by Natalya Goncharova.
