The Turansky district of Shymkent has been steadily developing and transforming in recent years. Work is underway to improve the area, plant greenery, and create comfortable living conditions for residents. One striking example of this transformation is the new flower garden on Gagarin Street , which has become a true highlight of the district and a favorite recreation spot for local residents.

The creation of the flower garden is part of a comprehensive program to green the Turansky District and improve the environmental situation. The new flower garden covers approximately 1.5 hectares , and the project was implemented with the support of the district administration and the Shymkent city improvement department .

The project's goal is not simply to beautify the area, but to create a modern, cozy, and safe space for residents to relax . Previously, this site was a wasteland where trash accumulated, but now it's a landscaped natural area with greenery, flowers, benches, and pedestrian paths.

The landscaping work was carried out in several stages. First, the area was cleared of debris and the ground was leveled. Then, a modern drip irrigation system was installed, which allows for efficient use of water and ensures uniform watering of plants. Following this, paving slabs were laid, benches, trash cans, and streetlights were installed.

Energy-saving lamps are used for lighting, beautifully illuminating the flowerbed in the evening. This makes strolling along the paths not only pleasant but also safe.

The main feature of the new flower garden is the diversity of its plants . Dozens of species of flowers and ornamental shrubs can be seen here: roses, petunias, marigolds, chrysanthemums, lavender, as well as evergreen trees such as juniper, maple, birch, and poplar. All plants were selected with the climate of southern Kazakhstan in mind, ensuring they will delight the eye year-round.

Around the perimeter of the flower garden , 40 benches and several shade canopies have been installed, allowing residents to relax and enjoy the fresh air. Children are provided with a safe playground with slides and swings, and seniors enjoy a quiet relaxation area with a soft surface and comfortable benches.

Local residents have welcomed the new recreational spot with open arms. They now come here with their families, spend evenings, walk with their children, and play sports. Aigul Apai, a retiree from the area, shared her impressions:

"This used to be a neglected wasteland, dusty and dirty. Now it's truly beautiful! My neighbors and I come out here for a walk every morning. Children play, young people relax, and we simply enjoy the peace and quiet."

According to representatives of the akimat, the new flower garden is not only a beautification feature but also an important environmental project . Green spaces reduce air pollution, dampen noise, and create a favorable microclimate. This is especially important for densely populated areas where green space is scarce.

Furthermore, the landscaped area promotes environmental awareness and a responsible attitude toward nature . Residents are encouraged to protect plants, avoid littering, and maintain cleanliness.

A dedicated maintenance team is responsible for the flower garden, cleaning, watering, and pruning the plants daily. For security, the park area is equipped with video cameras , and security guards are on duty in the evenings.

The project is part of the larger "Green Shymkent" city program, which will see over 120,000 square meters of land be landscaped in the Turansky District in 2025 alone. This includes tree planting, lawn creation, flower arrangements, and courtyard improvements.

The Akimat noted that similar projects are planned for other parts of the district—on Konaeva, Tauke Khan, and Yntymak Streets. Modern flower beds, recreation areas, and walking paths will also be built there in the future.

Particular attention is paid to involving local residents and volunteers in the greening process. For example, schoolchildren, students, and simply concerned residents of the area participated in planting trees and flowers on Gagarin Street. This helps young people feel a sense of personal responsibility for the environment and instills in them a respect for work and nature.

Local authorities are convinced that the success of the improvements depends largely on the residents themselves. Therefore, they constantly remind everyone to take care of the existing structures. After all, preserving the cleanliness and beauty of the area can only be achieved through joint efforts.

The Akim of the Turansky district noted:

"Our neighborhood is becoming greener and more welcoming. The new flower garden on Gagarin Street isn't just a beautification project; it's an investment in the future. We're creating spaces where people can relax, socialize, and feel part of a clean and beautiful city."

The opening of the new flower garden was a true celebration for residents. The ceremony featured music, children singing and dancing, and representatives of the akimat thanked everyone who contributed to the project.

Today, the flower garden on Gagarin Street is more than just a place to stroll, but a symbol of the renewal and development of the Turansky District . It lends the city a special charm, improves the environment, and lifts the spirits of everyone who passes by.

Projects like these demonstrate that even small improvements can significantly transform a city's appearance. Cleanliness, greenery, and order are not only beautiful but also an indicator of a society's culture.

In the future, the district administration intends to continue its commitment to developing green spaces, as a green city is a healthy and happy city . The new flower garden on Gagarin Street has become a shining example of how the combined efforts of the government and residents can make Shymkent even more beautiful, comfortable, and modern.
