Grand annual flower shows,
held in Kyiv between Aug. 23 and Sept. 8, commemorated the
end of the summer and beginning of the new business and
school seasons
Two grand annual flower shows, held in Kyiv between Aug.
23 and Sept. 8, commemorated the end of the summer and beginning
of the new business and school season.
An annual event for more than 50 years, the city flower
show – supported by Hr 400,000 in taxpayer money –
turned “Pecherskiy Landscape Park” into a fragrant
fairyland. Landscape architects from all over Ukraine, and
representatives of botanical gardens and forestries from
different regions presented complicated and intricate plant
compositions on diverse themes. Kyivans and guests of the
capital were able to enjoy the creativity of national designers
from Aug. 23 through Sept. 1.
Flower lovers didn’t have to wait long for the next
spectacle. On Sept. 5, another spectacular show named “The
Flower Calendar” opened its fifth annual exhibition.
The uniqueness rested on the idea of expressing all 12 months
and all four seasons through flower language. Two compositions
were especially impressive – one presented all seasons,
another depicted the Moon. The Pechersk exhibition turned
to swans and doves as traditional love symbols, while the
“The Flower Calendar” imagined December as gifts
and a pine tree, and March as a greeting card and a basket
of snowdrops.
