Vladimir land - a thousand years of Russian culture

The Vladimir region is a region with a rich history, traditions and its own cultural code. The exposition of the Vladimir region is based on the most vivid and recognizable images. The silhouette of the pergola represents ancient Russian shrines and pre-Mongol period churches; blooming cherry blossoms symbolize Vladimir; the blue falcon signifies the millennium of Suzdal; and blooming wildflowers - meadow cranesbill, bellflowers, and cornflowers - depict the picturesque Vladimir region. The ears of wheat symbolize fertile lands and modern agricultural production, highlighting the region's significant contribution to the national economy.

Landscape work "Vladimir Land - a Thousand Years of Russian Culture" is made of plants: cherry trees, perennial flowering plants (meadow cornflower, meadow geranium, meadow clover, peach-leaved bellflower, lancet-leaved coreopsis, cuckoo flower, sticky tar) and annual plants (cosmea, snapdragon, stock) that grow in the Vladimir region. The bird model and pergolas are made of moisture-resistant natural material.

One of the main elements of the composition is a blossoming cherry tree. The history of the appearance of cherry on the Vladimir land has several versions, but they all say that cherry came to us from Byzantium together with Orthodoxy. It took at least 300 years of patient breeding to develop those varieties that could winter in Central Russia, and by the XIX century hundreds of cherry orchards grew around Vladimir. Cherries were supplied to Moscow and St. Petersburg both as fresh berries and in the form of cherry infusions, and the Vladimir cherry rightfully became a trademark of the province.
