Winter season

Winter in the botanical garden allows evergreen conifers to shine brightly. Green, blue, yellow, columnar, spherical, pyramidal, tall, and squat—each has its own character and texture. Berries on bushes such as barberry, pyracantha, honeysuckle, hawthorn, and cotoneaster turn red or yellow in bright spots. In December, frozen rose flowers can still be seen, but they will fall apart with the first thaw.

When it snows, the garden transforms into a fairy-tale forest, and a stroll through the alleys is a real treat. Near the feeders, you can see squirrels and small wintering birds, and if you're lucky, you might see respectable pheasants leisurely strolling between the trees.

Tropical plants continue to thrive in the garden's greenhouses even during the winter. Hippeastrums flower in January-February, followed by azaleas beginning in late February.

Subtropical plants bloom in the exposition greenhouse during the winter, including Japanese medlar, pittosporum, camellia, eupatorium, and the tropical beauty strelitzia.
