May 1, 12:00 pm – 8:00 pm
On the first day of May, the Pavilion will transform into a greenhouse, where you can swap houseplants, flip through books and albums on floristry, learn more about the Herb Garden at New Holland, and pick up a selection of seeds for growing plants at home. Any questions regarding the greening of one’s apartment will be fielded by an expert from Dacha in the City Elena Vladimirovna Voropaeva, who holds a doctorate in agricultural sciences and serves as an assistant professor and instructor in the Department of Natural Sciences and Geography at the Pushkin Leningrad State University, where she heads the University’s Winter Garden laboratory.
Rules for the Plant Swap:
– Bring plants that you would like to swap.
– Taking a special card from a Pavilion administrator, write the name of the plant along with instructions for its care.
– Place the pot on the shelf.
– Select the plant you would like to take in exchange, letting the administrator know your choice.
Free Admission.
