The greenhouse in the Taurid Garden is preparing to close, as DP learned, at the behest of the Gazprom Social Initiatives Fund, a project to renovate the palm greenhouse (winter garden) at Potimkinskaya St., 2, lit. d. Today, hundreds of tropical and subtropical plants grow there, including centuries-old palms, large ferns, monsters and orchids. There is a flower shop on the ground floor, and on the second floor a cafe overlooking palm trees. The conservatory also hosts chamber concerts and exhibitions from time to time. The documentation is now approved by the Committee for State Control, Use and Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments (KGIOP). Judging by the scope of the works, it is actually a total renovation of the building, which according to experts interviewed by DP will require the closure of a landmark facility for the city. What will be done with the greenhouse, and what fate awaits the exotic plants - read in the material of "Business Petersburg".
