The beauty and scale of the "Future in Flowers" festival can be appreciated at the RUSSIA EXPO until July 8. Visitors can enjoy floral art objects, gardening lectures and a floral show. Near the "Space" pavilion, around the Vostok rocket, there are 89 flowerbed expositions from different regions, which are a must-see.

Many regions decided to pay tribute to their past in their floral compositions. For instance, the well-known phrase "A nation without knowledge of their past has no future" became the theme for the Pskov region's flowerbed. In the centre of the exposition, visitors can see the famous Varlaam Tower - a five-layered structure representing the ancient fortress cities of Pskov. The region carefully preserves its past and actively develops historical and cultural tourism.

The Novgorod region also emphasizes the memory of the past and respect for traditions. Its flowerbed exposition is a hymn to enlightenment since Veliky Novgorod is an ancient centre of literacy and writing, and one of the region's symbols is the birchbark letters. The first one was found in 1951 at the Nerev excavation. In the centre of the Novgorod region's landscape installation is a sculpture combining two bright and significant symbols in one composition. A birchbark scroll made of metal carries texts of several ancient messages, and nearby are pigeons that brought these messages. The unique and modern design of the sculptures adds a special touch to the entire composition, symbolizing the importance of traditions in the present and future.

Space and a look into the future also inspired many floral expositions. The Amur region's flowerbed draws attention with its architectural elements: the "Arch", symbolizing the sunrise in the Far East, the window to the East and the planet Earth, and the "Satellite among the Stars", representing the development of the space industry in the region. The Kaluga region's flowerbed features the cosmic track "Earth — Moon". The main characters of the exposition are little astronauts whose work transforms the lunar space into a blooming earthly garden.
