Spring walk in Asmolov Park (Sumy, Ukraine)

Asmolov Park is a cozy hidden place, located at a distance from the Sumy city center. Some of our local citizens have not even know about its existence. But for those who know, this park is a great place for a relaxed outdoor pastime, romantic dates or spending time with children, helping them to get know nature.

With a wide variety of trees, bushes, flowers, and other plants the territory of Asmolov park is officially considered an object of landscape art. And I have to say, it looks amazing during a warm period, from April till October.

In March, we usually come here to enjoy the first spring flowers. This year we are a bit early,

This old blue building was the home of the park’s founder who lived here in the early 20th century.

One of the birdhouses. There are about 10 of them here and they all are unique.

I can not say that the park is always full of people, but the fact that you can always find a beautiful cozy place here is for sure.

I remember, when being pregnant with my son, I used to walk in Asmolov Park. Perhaps because the hospital is located just in two houses from it, right behind the church:-)

Now we walk there together, making new small discoveries with each visit. This place always has something to surprise us.

The last fall it was a black walnut, untypical tree for Ukraine:

This time it was an odd fir tree with flat white-striped needles that are not prickly at all. I'll have to google to find out what kind of tree it is.
