By long-standing tradition GC VILASH acted as the partner of the International festival “Russian Imperial Gardens ” – it’s an fair competition of landscape and garden art which annually passes at the end of May – the beginning of June, within several days, in the open territory of historical gardens of the Russian Museum of St. Petersburg. During last years the festival traditionally takes place in the Mikhaylovsky garden. Mikhailovsky Garden – one of unique parks of the city on Neva. Seeking to revive traditions of landscape gardening art, and for education of interest in historical territories, the Russian Museum founded this festival. With opening of this new “showroom” open-air the museum had an additional opportunity for realization of its creative potential.
Over the past few decades the Russian Museum became a complex of ensembles of palaces and gardens in the very centre of Saint Petersburg. Nowadays it affiliates Mikhailovsky palace surrounded by the Mikhailovsky garden, Mikhailovsky (Engineers) Castle with the garden around, two towers – guardhouses – are included into the complex of Mikhailovsky (Engineers) Castle, and the Maple Alley connecting the guardhouses with the Castle, together with the Engineers Public Garden on each side of the Alley. On the corner of Nevsky prospect and Moika river the splendid Stroganovsky palace is situated, across the Mars Field on Millionnaya street – strict Marble Palace with the reconstructed winter garden and fountain. The main garden of the Russian Museum is the Summer Garden with the Summer Palace of Peter I and the real highlight – the first building of Saint Petersburg, House of Peter I on the Petrovskaya embankment hidden in the grove of old trees that celebrated 310 years this year
