Flower paradise: 35,000 tulips planted in Gomel park

In spring, the grounds of the Gomel Palace and Park Ensemble, one of the best 19th-century specimen of architecture in Eastern Europe, ‘the soul of the city’ and a favorite recreation spot of Gomel residents, get covered with a flower carpet. Every year, thousands of tulips are planted here. The flowers not only decorate the park, but also attract numerous visitors, like the world-famous flower garden Keukenhof. This year, the park is adorned with around 35,000 tulips of almost two dozen varieties! By the way, in 2019 the area for tulips has been expanded and new flowerbeds appeared by the chapel and family vault of the Paskevich family.
