The territory where the park is located now used to be a part of so-called “English farm” which belonged to captain Alexander Davidson. In 1809 the territory became state property and in 1811 it was given to Forest Institute transferred from the Tzar’s village. In 1825 the project of the territory development by Minister of Finances Egor Kankrin was approved. According to the project new buildings were constructed, the park was laid out on the territory – old roads were reconstructed to become the park alleys; trees were planted and in 1827 the  botanical garden was founded. The Botanical garden is one of the oldest in Russia. Many well-known scientists botanists R.I. Schreder, E.L. Volf, V.N. Sukachev, P.L. Bogdanov and others contributed greatly to its creation.

The main building of the Academy was reconstructed to the design of academician A.K. Ton in 1836 and to the design of architect R.L. Persche in 1884-1886. In front of the building there is a beautiful wooden vase designed by sculptor D. Jensen.

In 1830 a famous court gardener Joseph Bush was invited to supervise  the park creation. In 1832 he started large-scale territory drainage. Several canals and ponds were dug (one of the canals was made along the prospect which is now called Lesnoy prospect). In 1835 several streets were laid out on the territory – the present Murinskiy prospect, Novorossiiskaya street, the 1st and the 2nd Murinskiy prospects.  A famous landscape architect Pietro di Gottardo Gonzago also participated in the park creation.

There are several memorial places in the park – a granite stele on the place where a duel between Vladimir Novoseltsev and Konstantin Chernov took place on September,10, 1825; a granite obelisk by architect Y. Vizental on the place where revolutionary soldiers were buried in 1917. Some famous scientists are buried on the territory of the park: the Chief Gardener dendrologist E. Volf, professor-phenologist D. Kaigorodov, scientist M. Tkachenko. Alleys of the park are named after these famous scientists.

The park suffered greatly during the WWII. A reserve headquarters of Leningrad military district was located on the territory of the park so the park was heavily bombarded. After the war the park was totally restored.

Nowadays the area of the park is about 65 hectares so it is one of the largest parks in St. Petersburg. Over 1000 woody plant species grow in the park of the University. The botanical garden occupies a large territory – 47 hectares — and is used as a training area for students of the University.

 

Парк Санкт-Петербургского лесотехнического университета

 

Территория, на которой сейчас расположен парк, когда-то была частью так называемой «английской фермы», принадлежавшей капитану Александру Дэвидсону. В 1809 году территория стала государственной собственностью, а в 1811 году передана Лесному институту, перешедшему из царского села. В 1825 году министром финансов Егором Канкриным был утвержден проект застройки территории. По проекту построены новые здания, на территории разбит парк – старые дороги реконструированы в парковые аллеи; были посажены деревья, а в 1827 году основан ботанический сад. Ботанический сад – один из старейших в России. Многие известные ученые-ботаники Р.И. Шредер, Э.Л. Вольф, В.Н. Сукачев, П.Л. Богданов и другие внесли большой вклад в его создание.

Главный корпус Академии был реконструирован по проекту академика А.К. Тона в 1836 г. и по проекту архитектора Р. Л. Перше в 1884-1886 гг. Перед зданием стоит красивая деревянная ваза работы скульптора Д. Дженсена.

В 1830 году для руководства созданием парка был приглашен известный придворный садовник Джозеф Буш. В 1832 г. он приступил к широкомасштабному осушению территории. Прорыто несколько каналов и прудов (один из каналов прорыт по проспекту, ныне называемому Лесным проспектом). В 1835 году на территории было заложено несколько улиц – нынешний Муринский проспект, Новороссийская улица, 1-й и 2-й Муринский проспекты. В создании парка также участвовал известный ландшафтный архитектор Пьетро ди Готтардо Гонзаго.

В       парке есть несколько памятных мест – гранитная стела на месте дуэли Владимира Новосельцева и Константина Чернова 10 сентября 1825 года; гранитный обелиск архитектора Ю. Визенталя на месте захоронения воинов-революционеров в 1917 г. На территории парка захоронены известные ученые: главный садовник-дендролог Э. Вольф, профессор-фенолог Д. Кайгородов, ученый М. Ткаченко . Аллеи парка названы в честь этих известных ученых.

Парк сильно пострадал во время Великой Отечественной войны. На территории парка располагался штаб резерва Ленинградского военного округа, поэтому парк подвергался сильным бомбардировкам. После войны парк был полностью восстановлен.

В настоящее время площадь парка составляет около 65 га, что делает его одним из крупнейших парков Санкт-Петербурга. В парке университета произрастает более 1000 видов древесных растений. Ботанический сад занимает большую территорию – 47 га – и используется в качестве учебной площадки для студентов университета.

а) о тех ученых, архитекторах и скульпторах, которые принимали участие в создании парка и ботанического сада Лесотехнического университета,

From 1850 to 1862, R.I. worked as a gardener in the park of the institute. Schroeder. During this period, the park for its good maintenance and artistic merit gained well-deserved fame in St. Petersburg, which was noted in the petition for Schroeder to be awarded a medal.

In the early 1880s, the gardener Jurwein was in charge of the park, and after his death, from 1886 to 1931, the chief gardener was E.L. Wolf (1860-1931). E.L. Wolf, did a great job of landscaping the park and expanding the dendrological garden, compiled its description, paid great attention to floriculture: the annually arranged flower garden in front of the main building of the Forest Institute was unsurpassed in the city. At the end of the XIX century. the commercial tree nursery of park trees and shrubs was expanded to 7.5 acres. He has written more than 200 works and articles of a scientific and applied nature on dendrology and park gardening in Russian, German, French and English.

After the death of E.L. Wolf management of the park and the dendro garden from 1931 to 1936 — passes to P.A. Akimov, and from 1938 to 1942 — to prof. V.N. Sukachev and N.M. Andronov.

Since 1942, A.A. Grabovskaya, who had the hard fate of preserving the objects during this difficult period, as well as the beginning of the restoration of the park after the war.

The Great Patriotic War and the blockade of Leningrad caused great damage to the garden. The Upper Dendrosad was especially affected: if in 1935-1936. there were more than 1200 species and forms of woody plants and 3850 specimens, after the war only 800 species and forms and about 2155 specimens remained.

б) о самых красивых и важных растениях и памятниках в нашем парке, например, о растениях, названных в честь Вольфа, могила которого расположена в нашем парке. Если сложно будет найти материалы на английском, найдите на русском – кратко и информативно. 

 

In 1833, a dendrological garden was founded, and a year later, a greenhouse with a room for a gardener was built. By 1837, the total expenditure on organizing a park, planting and sowing trees, arranging a botanical garden, greenhouses, roads, fences, draining swamps and cultivating land for meadows, fields and vegetable gardens amounted to more than 85 thousand rubles.

The court gardener Joseph Bush (1760 — 1838) was invited to arrange the park of the Forestry Institute, who in 1830-1831. draws up estimates for earthworks and a plan for the construction of a road to the institute. For successful work, he was honored with a gift of 1,200 rubles most mercifully granted to him. from His Majesty’s Cabinet.

Since 1837, the development of the park was carried out at the expense of the total funds allocated for the maintenance of the Forestry and Land Survey Institute. Concerns about improving the park and the surrounding area did not stop. By order of the director of the institute, gardener Peter Buk, known for creating the best Botanical Garden in St. Petersburg on Yelagin Island, is making a sketch of the plan and an approximate estimate for the arrangement of the garden. Every year, the pupils planted several thousand seedlings, not only of forest-forming species of our zone, but also of others, for the growth of which in the park of the institute there was hardly any hope.

Seedlings of Weymouth pine, white spruce, red oak, white acacia, tulip tree, etc. were ordered from Paris. Seedlings of English oak aged from 3 to 20 years were delivered from Lisinskaya dacha and Novgorod province.

In 1841 a tree nursery was established. For 4 years of existence of the nursery, from 1885 to 1888, about 8,000 trees and shrubs were transplanted from it into the park. The results of these works have been preserved to this day in the form of old-growth stands near the Academy building. The forest nursery existed until the Great Patriotic War and played a big role not only in the improvement of the park, but also became a research laboratory, the results of which were included in the fund of Russian forest science.

On April 22, 1827, His Imperial Majesty Nicholas I approved the note of the Minister of Finance, Lieutenant-General Count E.F. Kankrin about the arrangement of the Forest Park at the dacha of the St. Petersburg Forst Institute.

The Forestry Institute then had 277 acres of land, partly covered with forests, partly with swamps and bare sands. Since 1827, the lands belonging to the institute began to gradually turn into a forest park, which, after draining the swamps, was supposed to serve as a decoration of the area and provide the students of the Forest Institute with the opportunity for practical training in sowing and planting forests.

In 1833, a dendrological garden was founded, and a year later, a greenhouse with a room for a gardener was built. By 1837, the total expenditure on organizing a park, planting and sowing trees, arranging a botanical garden, greenhouses, roads, fences, draining swamps and cultivating land for meadows, fields and vegetable gardens amounted to more than 85 thousand rubles.

The restoration of the park of the Forest Engineering Academy began in 1946 by a team of employees of the gardening and park management under the leadership of A.A. Grabovskaya and her deputy V.V. Khavanskaya: not only the territory of the park was ordered and the consequences of the war were eliminated, but also a number of interesting plantings were created in the park. In 1952, the landscaping was transferred to the educational unit.

The botanical garden was organized on the basis of the academy’s landscaping facilities (arboretums, nurseries, a park, a greenhouse and flower plantations) with a total area of ​​43.7 hectares. V.I. was appointed acting director of the Botanical Garden. Drozhzhin, supervisor — associate professor F.A. Chepik.

Many generations of pupils of the former Forestry Institute, its professors and teachers took part in the development of the Botanical Garden.

Foresters widely known in our country and abroad are professors F.K. Arnold, A.F. Rudzsky, G.F. Morozov, V.D. Ogievsky, acad. I.P. Borodin and others contributed a lot to the development and replenishment of the garden’s collections, conducted research in it and attracted students to this.

Academician V.N. Sukachev. The collection owes him many additions, in particular, the most valuable species from Transbaikalia.

The garden owes its great scientific fame to the work of climatologists — professors D.A. Lachinov and V.N. Obolensky, soil scientists — prof. P.A. Kostychev and acad. K.K. Gedroits, phenologist prof. D.N. Kaigorodov, zoologist and entomologist prof. ON THE. Kholodkovsky, ornithologist prof. A.A. Silantiev, geologists — P. Perelygin and prof. S.A. Yakovleva and others.

My Faculty

 

          I am a first year student of St.Petersburg Forest Technical University. I study at the faculty of landscape architecture. It was not easy to enter the faculty because the competition was rather serious – only one of three applicants was accepted. I had to pass All Russia Unified examinations in mathematics, Russian language and geography to apply to the faculty.

I decided to enter this faculty because I like drawing and I think that the profession of landscape architect  is one of the most promising. Cities grow very fast so more and more specialists in city planning, landscape gardening and architecture are needed.

The faculty of landscape architecture is the youngest faculty of our university. It was founded in 2010. I know that in 1933 the department of landscape gardening was founded at Leningrad Forestry Academy. Later it became the faculty of landscape gardening. The department foundation was initiated by Tatiana Borisovna Dubiago – a prominent Russian scientist. She read lectures on the history of French and Italian formal gardens and parks as well as landscape gardens and parks of China, Japan and England. The principles and ideas of European, Japanese and Chinese landscape architects formed the basis of Russian landscape gardening and architecture.  The faculty was closed in 1955. Students could study landscape gardening only at the Forestry faculty of the Academy. The faculty was revived in 2010. Nowadays there are 4 chairs at the faculty – the Chair of Landscape Architecture, The Chair of Russian Language, the Chair of Foreign languages and the Chair of Descriptive Geometry and Graphics. Students of the faculty are trained at 2 levels – Bachelors and Masters of Science. There is also post graduate department. There are full time and by correspondence departments. In the 1^st and 2^nd years students are taught mainly general subjects such as mathematics, botany, chemistry, physical training, Russian language and foreign language. Specialized subjects in the 1^st and 2^nd years are drawing, painting, history of Fine Arts,  history and theory of landscape architecture. Then students are taught model-making, horticulture, building materials, urban planning, fundamentals of construction, interior and landscape design, computer graphic design, park designing, forestry, gardening, history of landscape painting and others.

Я студент первого курса Санкт-Петербургского лесотехнического университета. Я учусь на факультете ландшафтной архитектуры. Поступить на факультет было непросто, потому что конкурс был довольно серьезный – был принят только один из трех абитуриентов. Чтобы поступить на факультет, мне нужно было сдать Всероссийские Единые экзамены по математике, русскому языку и географии.

Я решил поступить на этот факультет, потому что люблю рисовать и считаю профессию ландшафтного архитектора одной из самых перспективных. Города растут очень быстро, поэтому требуется все больше и больше специалистов в области градостроительства, садово-паркового искусства и архитектуры.

Факультет ландшафтной архитектуры – самый молодой факультет нашего университета. Она была основана в 2010 году. Я знаю, что в 1933 году в Ленинградской лесотехнической академии была основана кафедра садово-паркового искусства. Позже он стал факультетом садово-паркового искусства. Инициатором создания отдела выступила Татьяна Борисовна Дубяго – видный российский ученый. Она читала лекции по истории французских и итальянских садов и парков, а также ландшафтных садов и парков Китая, Японии и Англии. Принципы и идеи европейских, японских и китайских ландшафтных архитекторов легли в основу русского садово-паркового искусства и архитектуры. Факультет был закрыт в 1955 году. Садово-парковому искусству студенты могли заниматься только на Лесотехническом факультете Академии. Факультет был возрожден в 2010 году. В настоящее время на факультете функционируют 4 кафедры – кафедра ландшафтной архитектуры, кафедра русского языка, кафедра иностранных языков и кафедра начертательной геометрии и графики. Студенты факультета проходят обучение по 2 уровням – бакалавры и магистры наук. Также есть аспирантура. Есть очное и заочное отделения. На 1-м и 2-м курсах студенты преподаются в основном общеобразовательные предметы, такие как математика, ботаника, химия, физическая культура, русский язык и иностранный язык. Профильными предметами на 1-м и 2-м курсах являются рисунок, живопись, история изобразительного искусства, история и теория садово-парковой архитектуры. Затем студентов обучают модельному делу, садоводству, строительным материалам, градостроительству, основам строительства, интерьерному и ландшафтному дизайну, компьютерному графическому дизайну, парковому проектированию, лесоводству, садоводству, истории пейзажной живописи и другим.

A landscape architect is engaged in the design of free spaces on the territory of which green spaces are located or are planned to be placed. It can be a small area in front of the house, a green roof, a city park or even a large nature reserve. A landscape architect is able to design any territory, taking into account the peculiarities of caring for each plant, functionality and aesthetic beauty. The profession can be classified as «man — nature» and «man — sign system».

The profession of a landscape architect has a creative character, to which it is always appropriate to add a certain amount of rationalization. Such a specialist is essentially a skilled artist who is able to keep in mind various factors and find the solution that best suits each of them. This is especially important in large cities with densely built-up areas, where sometimes there is a catastrophic lack of green areas and well-thought-out space planning. The main scope of work faced by a landscape architect includes the following:

• Study of the site, which is supposed to be transformed by means of landscape design. This can be either a study of the relief, buildings, soil features, or a study from the field of cultural history.
• Layout and design of the site, taking into account the location of all elements: buildings and other building structures, green spaces, lawns, decorative elements (arbors, artificial reservoirs, sculptures, fountains, etc.), lighting fixtures.
• Planning the engineering aspect of future landscaping (we are talking about utilities, storm sewers, water supply systems to fountains, etc.).
• Planning the biological aspect of future landscaping (taking into account what kind of soil each plant needs, whether it can survive the winter in an open area, which plants should not be planted next to each other, how to arrange plantings correctly).
• Planning of the cultural and artistic aspect of the future improvement of the territory. Here the requirements of the customer, his idea of ​​the general concept of space design are of great importance. If a complex is being restored, historical documents must also be taken into account.
• Author’s support for the implementation of the project, quality control of the work performed.
• Presentation of the project to the customer, elimination of deficiencies when they are detected.

The main three areas of knowledge that a landscape architect uses in his work are engineering, biology and history. They all play different roles, but are equally important.
