About 30 species and many varieties and cultivars of lilies are grown in gardens around the world. Most of them can be cultivated
outdoors in Central Europe, and partly in Russia. The most capricious are oriental lilies. With a fairly general agricultural technique, each class of lilies has
its own characteristics. Knowing them, it is easier to get a good result. That is why from year to year, lily lovers tend to exhibitions in the
"Pharmaceutical Garden".
The organizers of the exhibitions are the "Moscow Flower Growers" club under the OVOP on Novinsky Boulevard.
It is possible to order planting material.
From August 1 in the tropics in the Botanical Garden of the Moscow State University "Apothecary Garden" concerts are resumed - in the Subtropical Greenhouse with

The organizers of the event guarantee compliance with all established standards with a room filling of 50%.
Concert tickets give the right to visit all exhibitions and expositions in the Botanical Garden of the Moscow State University "Apothecary Garden".
Now "Aptekarsky Ogorod" does not have enough funds to
hold an autumn flower festival with exhibitions of chrysanthemums, harvests and grapes. With the help of a crowdsourcing project, from July 18 to 22, it was possible to
raise 1 million rubles - in total, about 4 million rubles need to be raised.
