There are several botanical gardens in Kiev. People prefer visiting it when one of many kinds of flowers is blossoming. I know that the most popular are magnolias and lilacs. I’ve seen dozens of times a lilacs flourishing in the Central Botanical Garden. As I remember, it happens in May or little bit later. Families, teenagers, just friends meet there and walk down the long alley between beautiful lilac bushes colored in white, red and pink hues. It smells like grandma’s eau-de-Cologne or scented soap. Everybody touch flowers, take a smell at it, take photos.
Only a week ago, I saw a magnolia for the first time. This month, me and my little one used to going out a lot. We went across all central parks, and were in trouble not having where to go for a stroll. Suddenly, we recollected that we hadn’t been to Botanical Garden near Kiev Metro station “Universytet” for a year. Once we entered it, I noticed beautiful trees which were blossoming. It was magnolias. For some reason, I always thought that magnolia is a kind of flowers which is growing in the flowerpot, and should be small like tulip or even orchid. I was amazed that it was great and beautiful trees. If you have an opportunity to visit this place right now, do it without any hesitation.
