The 9th International Festival "Imperial Gardens of Russia" will run in Mikhailovsky Garden of Saint Petersburg from June 10 to June 19.

      Visitors will see unusual landscape compositions, art objects and flower sculptures created by 50 floral designers from Russia, Great Britain, Finland, Denmark and Spain.

      Every year the participants are suggested a new subject and this time it is The Flowers of Life.

      The festival will be dedicated to flowers, gardens, and children. It will be meant for children and for adults, who were also children once.

      For nine days the art works will be assessed by a jury, including a famous landscape designer from London, as well as staff of the Russian Museum. The festival is traditionally held with assistance of the Government of St. Petersburg and charity foundations.
