Sakura blossomed in the Friendship Garden in St. Petersburg

Cherry blossoms have begun in St. Petersburg in the Friendship Garden on Liteyny Prospekt. Photos of the first flowers are published by the 78 TV channel.

The Friendship Garden was officially opened in 2023. It is a scaled-down copy of the ancient Shanghai Garden of Joy. His sister city Shanghai presented him to the Northern capital for the 300th anniversary.

Earlier it was reported that St. Petersburg will strengthen the protection of rare species of animals and plants. A special commission will be set up for this purpose. The Committee on Environmental Management has prepared a draft of the relevant resolution. The Commission will address issues related to the maintenance of the Red Book of St. Petersburg, the inclusion and exclusion of plant and animal species from it.
