Paper containers for flowers are good-looking and ecological. Underneath the text are the hyacinths in a pot, made of recycled paper. Heavy-duty stitching and colourful buttons are used to give it an attractive style. These pots are eco-friendly, they are light and funny.

One might say the industrial city Chelyabinsk is lucky, it is surrounded by the numerous lakes and the forests, many of which became parks. Park named after Yuri Gagarin, first cosmonaut, is the one of the most favorite parks of townspeople. The total area of park makes up 1200 hectare. Practically there is no boundary between the city and the park; park is inalienable part of the city.
In the park there are many quarries. Once they were used to extract stones for buildings. The main stone is granite.Some quarries, until now, remain “wild”. On the park paths you will see people on the bicycles, the rollers, and even on the horses, while on the narrow paths they prefer to walk on foot. In winter main entertainment is skiing. The dear place for the families are small hills called ‘’Monks’’. From one side of park Shershnevskoe water reservoir is located. In summer time townspeople bathe and become sunburnt here, in winter it is a favorite place for fishermen. Many urban events are conducted on the territory of park. The Day of harvest is a kind of Ecological festival. It is held by autumn, and everything which is represented on it, is grown by people living in Chelyabinsk.
