Chrysanthemum Ball 2018 is officially over in Feldman Ecopark. Its main participants \u2013 thousands of perennial \u201cgolden flowers\u201d will be given to children\u2019s educational and medical institutions in Kharkiv and Kharkiv oblast for planting in their territories. The organizers of the country\u2019s largest floristic festival, which, by the way, was attended by a record number of visitors \u2013 600,000, decided to extend the holiday and share their \u201cgold\u201d by giving it to the friends as a souvenir.<\/p>\n
\u201cChrysanthemums are perennial plants blooming every summer. When the Ball was ended in the previous years, they remained in the territory of our Multi-Complex. This year, it was decided to give it to those who need this beauty the most \u2013 to children, especially the little ones and those who currently undergo treatment in hospitals,\u201d the main landscaper in Feldman Ecopark Mykola Dvoretskyi told. \u201cWe have dug out the flowers carefully and prepared them for transportation in special pots. Now, it will be possible to preserve them in cold place till spring or to plant them right now, as they will safely pass winter in soil under the cover of conifer branches or leaves.\u201d<\/p>\n
Several hundreds of \u201cautumn queens\u201d have already been sent to Kharkiv Children\u2019s Hospice. It is a new unit in the 5th Municipal Hospital that provides palliative medical assistance and psychological support to children with end stage incurable illnesses.<\/p>\n
In addition, Feldman Ecopark also gave chrysanthemums to its neighbours: Kharkiv State Zooveterinary Academy, nursery school \u201cDzvinochok\u201d and ambulance station in Mala Danylivka, Hnat Khotkevych Musical School in Cherkaska Lozova and other special institutions in Derhachi region.<\/p>\n
It should be reminded that the Chrysanthemum Ball in Feldman Ecopark is Ukraine\u2019s largest flower festival. It is held every year under the auspices of the International Charitable Foundation \u201cOleksandr Feldman Foundation\u201d since 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
