The wisdom of the ancestors becomes the mind of the descendants.

The Time-Turner garden reveals the theme of preserving traditions, continuity of generations, reverence for Nature and shows how in a modern, rather tense world, one can live according to the canons of the Family, honor ancestors and be in harmony with nature, preserve its beauty, using the possibilities of modernity.

Our garden reflects 2 eras: the present "Garden of Russia" and the past "Garden of Rus'". You can go from the past to the present using the Time Turner portal. It demonstrates how technologies have changed in the modern world and how organically they look with each other. The portal is made half of forging (the oldest craft in Rus'), and half of metal with modern laser processing.

The garden of the present time tells us that a person is increasingly fenced off from society and hangs in the world wide web - the Internet, this is indicated by trellises with a network blocking the path; mesh-bed, where you can "hang" for a long time with a gadget in your hands. But you should always remember that there is an alternative to the network - this is a cozy house where you can gather around the fire and warm your soul with memories!

The "Garden of Russia" is filled with the attributes of antiquity in a modern design: a deck chair in the form of a stove, decorative stumps on graceful legs; medicinal herbs growing in the beds; a symbol of family and unity - the sacred oak, hawthorn, which from time immemorial has been a healer of many ailments, is presented in a modern garden in the form of an "umbrella" and the form of a "hedge". All this shows how it is possible to preserve the history and accumulated knowledge of our ancestors.

The Garden of Rus' shows us that there is strength in unity. Everyone has a role to play in shaping a healthy society for our descendants! We see parts of the life of Slavic life in the autumn period: growing fruits, cultivating various crops, hay, firewood - all that is necessary for life in the cold season. Rest, fun, rides on a carousel - in those days united people, just like work and were an integral part of the life of our ancestors.

It is interesting to observe that nature does not change through the centuries, and we, like our ancestors, see from the window the same groves of birches, oaks, thickets of grasses. Only the thinking of a person, his attitude to nature, architecture and the conduct of his life is changing.

Our garden is for the preservation of history, traditions and the use of modern technologies, for the transformation of outdated elements of culture, reflecting the spirituality and wisdom of our ancestors.
