The central part of the exhibition is the "Gates of the Russian North", the impersonation of one of the capital cities of Ancient Rus. The idea is embodied in one of the fragments of the ancient gate. The fragment itself is made as a mirror-like structure with carved elements which take us from the present to the memory of the ancestors of Russian architecture. The gate represents the endless experience of historical feats, moving us in time from the past to the future.

The Kirov exposition consists of a dense planting of annual and perennial plants and low-growing shrubs growing in the region. The floral concept is presented in the form of seasonal plants, decorative grain plants (fescue or wild rye), which en masse create the effect and general mood of the plant material.

One of the plants of the flowerbed is oak sage (belongs to Salvia genus), which is often called forest sage. This type of plant got its name due to its frost resistance. Oak salvia is actively used in folk medicine. It is a part of decoctions which are useful for treatment of such diseases as cardioneuroses, stomatites and sore throat. However, salvia-sage has not been recognized by the official medicine yet.
