Reconstruction principles

  • Не навредить Ботаническому саду

    Careful attitude is the main principle of reconstruction. We strive to preserve and increase the existing vegetation as much as possible.

  • Сохранение самобытности и целостности
    Preserving Originality and Integrity

    We are aware of the uniqueness of the Almaty Botanical Garden and scrupulously choose each plant, regularly consulting with the dendrologists of the Institute of Botanics and Phytointroduction. 

  • Обеспечение устойчивого развития

    We are committed to a systematic approach involving the creation of a public garden with elements of inclusion, the arrangement of a comfortable navigation system, environmentally friendly food courts and toilets. 

  • Долгосрочность

    We use modern materials and technologies with a long service life and high wear resistance for landscaping and restoration.

  • Применение новых технологий
