Lilacs in bloom ... Is it possible to imagine May without it? It can be found everywhere - in any square, courtyard, parks. But to admire the blossoming beauty in Moscow it is possible in the Lilac garden. Further in the article we will tell about how the park was formed, what difficulties it was necessary to go through to its founder, and also about what this picturesque place is today.

Lilac garden on Schelkovskoe highway

This small and not very well-known park is located in the eastern part of the capital. The easiest way to get there is from the metro stations Cherkizovskaya, Schelkovskaya, Preobrazhenskaya Square, taking advantage of a bus or trolleybus. The park was formed in 1975. The lilac garden on Schelkovskoe Highway was not created immediately. The basis for it was a nursery, founded by one of the famous Soviet breeders Kolesnikov Leonid Alekseevich. It was he who brought out about 300 species of lilac in our country. Initially, Kolesnikov was appointed technical director of the kennel in Kaloshin, and later, in 1956, he was given a leadership position.

Occurrence

Lilac garden in Moscow, a photo of which is presented in the article, first settled on Sokol. At that time it was almost crushed by new buildings. But in the summer of 1956 the Moscow City Council ordered the transplanting of lilac bushes from the Falcon to Kaloshino. Due to improper transportation and planting of plants with disturbances in the new nursery, most of them did not adapt. The place intended for breaking up the garden was in ruts and ditches. But not young and weak health Leonid Alexeyevich with enthusiasm took up his work. He personally delivered the land on a trolley, and for his Stalin Prize he carried out an almost complete reconstruction of the Lilac Garden. As soon as the plants began to take root, new buildings in the Izmailovo area came close to the plantations. Since the nursery was not guarded, it was often visited by robbers. As a result, a unique yellow lilac was forever destroyed.

Difficulties of cattery organization

Despite the fact that Leonid Alexeyevich Kolesnikov visited all the authorities, he sent many letters and appealed to famous people, construction was on its way, and bulldozers still pressed seedlings. Lilac was not interesting to anyone, and Kolesnikov himself was "asked" for retirement. The remains of the nursery were given to the state farm of ornamental crops "Pervomaisky", but even here the unique varieties were abandoned. After a short time from the nursery they made "an object of landscaping of common use." In 1975, the Lilac Garden in Moscow began its official existence. The total area is 7 hectares. The territory is closed by a fence, the entrances are located on the north and west sides. Lilac garden in Moscow at first decorated 32 variegated bush. But thanks to the huge work of the breeder, their number subsequently increased significantly.

Pride of the breeder

From the variety of varieties of lilacs here is the Beauty of Moscow, Hortensia, Leonid Leonov, Red Moscow, Nadezhda, The Dream, Galina Ulanova, the last, by the way, that grows in Buckingham Palace .The lilac garden in Moscow is also adorned with Gastello. The decorative grade Olimpiada Kolesnikova with purple buds was judged.It is dedicated to the breeder's wife.The Moscow beauty class was recognized as a flower symbol of the capital.In 2008, the city authorities allocated 65 million rubles to plant varietal seedlings.They detain dust on their own istyah much better than basswood and poplar, and one of the important properties possessed lilac -. it is a good gas resistance - a necessary feature for the big cities.

Current state

When preparing Moscow for the 1980 Olympics in 1980, a fountain was installed in the middle of the garden. But this architectural element has not been functioning for many years. In 2000, the fountain was connected, and he even worked for several months. But now the structure is in almost useless condition. If desired, the government of Moscow could find funds to repair this important fountain for the garden. Since there are no attractions, shopping kiosks, you can enjoy peace and tranquility in the park. Some lilac bushes in this garden were transported from the garden in the Sokol district. Another part was crossed already in the Kaloshin nursery. The queen cells are large shrubs with twisted and twisted trunks. They were taken from the Falcon in 1950. Looking around, you can see that the garden seems rather well-groomed and uncluttered. But if you look closely, you can see a lot of broken branches, overgrown weed plants, which are hammering varietal bushes. In order to preserve the unique species, it is necessary to conduct an inventory and registration of the best seedlings, to remove the stock. This is done at a time when the lilac blooms. So it is possible to preserve and propagate in the botanical gardens the heritage of a talented breeder.
