Walking around Akademgorodok, we quite by chance came to the Vavilovsky vegetable garden. At first they thought that these academics were growing fresh herbs for lunch, but no). This is a training garden for future geneticists. Here, students from the Environmental Education Laboratory of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics conduct their first experiments with plants. The Vavilov vegetable gardens are the idea of geneticists from St. Petersburg. There are educational beds in other cities of Russia.
