Anna works in the new wave style, but has encountered problems with practical care and is now developing a new direction in landscape design. The lecture will touch on the question as to whether natural planting suits the open-air museum of St Petersburg. Anna will talk about how to create a natural flowerbed inspired by steppe societies in the city, and where to find the right plants.
Anna Andreeva is a landscape designer and founder and partner at the Alphabet City bureau. She has headed projects for the greening of the Crimea coast, the wooded area of the Garage pavilion in Gorky Park, the meadows on Triumphal’naya Square and Muzeon, and several Moscow parks including Sadovniki and Sirenevy Sad, as well as a park in Yakutsk and an embankment in Krasnoyarsk. She is a regular participant in international landscape design festivals.
Admission is free of charge. The number of participants is limited. Please register in advance.
Lectures on Urban Gardening, together with Dacha in the City
Dacha in the City is an educational initiative, dedicated to greening up apartments and balconies, urban gardening, and landscape design. This cycle of lectures will focus on the practical aspects, most interesting to city-dwellers: how to achieve the kind of cooperation between neighbors and municipal authorities necessary to make a green roof, what do you need to create a vertical garden in your living room, where is the best place to build a community garden, and what kind of plants are best for a garden on the balcony. These and other questions will be answered by practicing landscape designers and gardeners.
