March and April in Moscow may be difficult months, since spring is already here, but the cold wind, the grey skies and patches of snow still linger. Admiring some flowers is always a great way to boost the spirits, and there is a place in Moscow that is already abloom.

On the coldest weeks of the year, the Apothecary Garden invites you to submerge yourself into the atmosphere of the tropics. Three small Southern countries will be open in the Botanical Garden hothouses — a tropical forest with unique orchids, an equatorial swamp with pitcher plants, and a small desert, which brings together some remarkable flora from faraway arid lands. The festival is open until March 31, 2015.
