UrbanGreen strives for harmony between man and nature by greening cities. In 2018, the company organised Atmofest, an international festival of landscape art. At it, participants were able to show their creative abilities and transform the space. At that time, a temporary green oasis appeared among the urban development. Plants then had a hard time, because they had to be carefully stored and then replanted. Today they have finally found their eternal home on the embankment of Yekaterinburg's city pond.
Seven unique gardens created by authors from different countries and regions were presented as part of the 2024 Atmofest landscape art festival.
The Calabaza Garden from Lima (Peru) combined two worlds: Peruvian and Russian. It seems to connect the legendary rainbow mountains of Peru with the majestic Ural Mountains, creating a bridge between cultures.
The Moscow Dynamics Garden is a hymn to incessant movement and change. Architectural forms and plantings show how landscapes are changing, emphasizing the problem of the disappearance of steppes in the Urals.
The Ufa Garden ‘Razrez Vremeni’ plunges into reflections on the continuity of generations. The seven arches that form the basis of the composition symbolise seven generations and seven Bashkir tribes that became the foundation of a united nation.
