The theme of the exhibition was due to the fact that 2011 was declared the cross year of Italian culture in Russia and Russia in Italy. In total, the exhibition featured about two dozen competitive works made by masters of landscape firms from St. Petersburg. The projects turned out to be quite diverse, but they were united by the general flavor of the theme set by the organizers, which was provided by strict geometry and regularity of planning, the use of paving, mosaics, flowerpots, garden furniture, gazebos, pergolas, trellises, reservoirs, retaining walls. Of the plants in the mini-gardens presented at the exhibition, blooming rhododendrons and conifers with a columnar, spherical and conical crown (pine, spruce, thuja, junipers) dominated.
