Tauride Garden (Russian: Tavrichesky Sad)
Another park in the Central city district was founded near the Tauride Palace at the end of the 18th century by the English gardener William Gould. A small cozy park area with a pond, gazebos, benches and children’s playgrounds serves as a convenient place for recreation of the city residents.
In summer, people have picnics, play musical instruments, sunbathe on the grass, do yoga and feed the birds. In winter, they play hockey on a frozen pond, make snowmen. The Tauride Garden has a cafe, as well as an equipped sports ground for playing soccer and basketball.
Greenhouse
To the west of the palace in the 19th century, fruit trees were planted and an extensive garden was laid out. Melons, pears, peaches, apricots, plums, cherries and watermelons were grown in the constructed greenhouse. In the 1930s, a palm greenhouse from Tsarskoye Selo was transferred to the garden. The greenhouse of the Tauride Garden has repeatedly become a platform for filming a movie. In Soviet times, about 25 movies were filmed here, including "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson." Today there are excursions and photo shoots in the Greenhouse.
Events and Festivals
The Tauride Garden traditionally organizes holidays, festivals, lectures and outdoor lessons:
- Every summer, Scottish Dance School open classes take place on Tuesdays
- In late April, in honor of Health Day, a race is held for 0.5, 1, 2.5 and 5 km
