At the crossroads of Asia and Eastern Siberia, 4600 km away from Moscow, lies a land where mountains are regarded as elder relatives, where people believe in Buddha and visit shamans, and where the endless steppes and hills seem otherworldly.

The entire Republic of Tuva is like a large nature reserve. The preserved flowers are not just plants indeed; they are symbols of hope, harmony, and the infinite beauty that man and nature create together.

To create a flowerbed reflecting the beauty and uniqueness of the Republic of Tuva, not only bright flowers and plants were used, but also landscape elements made of wood and stone. An interesting design solution includes petroglyphs with patterns and motifs characteristic of the Tuvan people.

The exposition also features an original imitation of water, achieved through decorative glass "erklez," dazzlingly shimmering under the sun's rays. These water elements symbolize numerous rivers and lakes that are abundant in the republic.

Among the plants symbolizing the region, the Siberian juniper (artysh) stands out. Artysh is well known in Tuva and other regions where traditional shamanism has been preserved. It is believed to grow in places of energy emergence. These places, called "rose of the winds," are where the elements meet. The places where artysh grows are considered "sacred places," ideal for meditation and contemplation.
