About 60 thousand. marigolds were put behind a flagstaff on pr. Of Independence in Kharkiv.

According to Andrei Dron, deputy director of the Kharkivzelenstroy construction company, in the spring tulips were planted in this place, but they already faded, so they dug out and planted a large-flowered tagetes - yellow, lemon and orange.

"Here we decided to plant flowers in the form of zigzags. And it looks beautiful, and does not merge into one spot, and the eye rushes. Now work is going on all areas of the city and in a week or two they will be mostly finished. Thus, in Kharkov will be planted up to two million colors, "- said Andrei Dron.

According to him, vandalism remains a very acute problem.

"Every day - torn and broken flowers, steal also a white decorative stone. This is done for hooligan reasons, or people want to plant such flowers at home, or for sale. Our installations - a bridal bouquet, a girl with a basket near the Mirror Jet, an inkwell with a pen on the Poetry Square - damage almost daily. The district chiefs call me and just cry. Other emotions are not present, when you try to make beauty, and it is ruined. All this we have to restore, "- said Andrei Dron.
