Oleg Valenchuk: beauty will save the world!

      These free courses opened in Kirov in the fall of 2024 at the Oleg Valenchuk School of Horticulturists. Currently, participants are engaged in practical sessions. The landscaping master class took place this time at 56 Komsomolskaya Street, not coincidentally. The residents of the building are passionate about their craft and plan to compete for prizes in the "Decorate the Motherland with Flowers" contest this year.

      The contest has become a tradition, held for over 10 years. Schools, kindergartens, libraries, museums, cultural centers, and extra education institutions participate. Last year, in honor of the anniversary of the hometown, a new category was introduced for residents of Kirov’s multi-storey buildings. It generated great interest among the townspeople, resulting in over 200 submissions. This year, residents of more than 500 Kirov apartment buildings received seed kits of annual flowers from Oleg Valenchuk, perfectly suited for our climate.

      But transforming wastelands overgrown with weeds into vibrant oases requires knowledge, patience, and aesthetic taste. For gardening enthusiasts in Kirov, the Oleg Valenchuk School of Horticulturists opened the doors to this wonderful world by launching free landscape design courses. Winter evenings were filled with lively discussions on creating beautiful flower beds under the guidance of experienced designer Nadezhda Perevozchikova.

      The culmination of the training was the development of a personal landscape design project for their own yard – the first step toward turning dreams into reality. However, transferring a sketch from paper to the land is no easy task. Theory is good, but practice is invaluable. Once again, the Union of Horticulturists of Russia came to the rescue.

      “I am very glad that the classes have become a true celebration for you, bringing together like-minded people eager to improve their environment,” noted Oleg Valenchuk. “It's no coincidence that they say beauty will save the world. Creating a flower bed at the doorstep is a vivid example of how teamwork can unite neighbors, foster a friendly atmosphere, and transform the yard, bringing joy to everyday life.”

      The politician also asked who among the flower enthusiasts is involved in gardening. It turned out that each of the women has her own summer plot. To this, Oleg Valenchuk suggested adding another category to the contest – for owners of garden plots and individual houses. Everyone present enthusiastically supported this idea.

      Oleg Valenchuk handed the residents seedlings of ornamental plants for their flower beds, and awarded landscape design instructor Nadezhda Perevozchikova with a letter of appreciation from a State Duma deputy.
