You can create a flower-bed even in the darkest pit of a courtyard, and our lecturer will help you to get to grips with classifying lighting conditions as well as talking about how plants adapt to life in the shadows. Borisova will also share with listeners a list of shade-tolerant tree and grass species which can brighten up St. Petersburg’s gloomy spaces.
Natalya Borisova is a landsape designer and director of the NB Garden landscape workshop. She is a regular participant and prize-winner in garden exhibitions and competitions, and also a regular contributor to leading magazines.
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.
