Tauride Garden

The garden was laid out between 1783 and 1789. Prince Grigory Potemkin ordered his favourite architect, William Guld, to design and lay out the park..[1][2] When Potemkin died in 1791, the park and palace were used by Catherine II as a residence. Afterwards it was opened to the public. In 1898, a theater was built in the park.[3]

In 1932, it was renamed to "Park of Culture and Rest of the First Five-Year Plan" in honor of the preterm completion Soviet Unions 5-year plan for the national economy.[4] Later it was renamed back to "Tauride Garden"[2]

The park currently contains several sports areas, an ice skating rink, and an Orangery. Some of these were put in when the park was partially redesigned in the late 19^th early 20^th century.

The Orangery is a place in the Tauride Garden where many exotic plants grow, these include peaches, watermelons, apricots, and pineapples.
