The Moscow region presented an exposition of rain gardens titled "Green Horizons." The concept of a "sponge city" involves designing urban spaces with surfaces that absorb water, with the landscape's tasks including the accumulation and preservation of runoff, its purification, and the prevention of floods and waterlogging.

One of the tools for developing an artificial ecosystem in urban streets is the organization of surface water drainage using green plantings and architectural-planning solutions: rain gardens, biofiltration ditches, and slopes. Such solutions can be used in populated areas without underground stormwater drainage and as a complement to existing underground stormwater drainage.

The plants featured in the composition are characteristic of the Moscow region. Each of them is grown in nurseries within the region. The composition includes: moor grass, wood rush, hairy sedge, common valerian, narrow-leaved willow herb (Ivan-chai), great burnet, common cottongrass, water avens, moneywort, and bog iris.
