In addition, surprises wait for tourists. This is a flowerbed made of chrysanthemums in the shape of the Crimean peninsula, which appeared in the lower part of the garden. The dimensions of the masterpiece are striking: 11 by 7 meters. Decorative green plants − chlorophytum and asparagus accompany white and claret-colored buds. Such is an original photo zone with a patriotic bias.

Another art-object, which no woman will pass by, is called "The Queen of the Autumn Dress" and it represents a magnificent "skirt" with a "corset" made of different-colored chrysanthemums. Those keen on fashion can "try on" this "outfit" and, of course, make a memorable photo.
