Ukrainian Garden on Montjuic Mountain

Why did we create a Ukrainian kindergarten in Spain?

From time immemorial, a tree has been a symbol of family, wisdom and strength, infinity of life for man. Therefore, when the opportunity arose to plant a real Ukrainian garden in Barcelona, we did it, and thus took part in the global environmental project “Greening the Planet”.

On March 27, 2021, the Ukrainian community of Barcelona, with the support of the Consulate General of Ukraine in Barcelona and local authorities, planted a Ukrainian garden dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence on Montjuic mountain in Barcelona.

Representatives of the Ukrainian associations: “Zherelo”, “Blagosvit”, “Sonrisas de Ukraina”, the Ukrainian school named after T. Shevchenko and the Ukrainian school “Mriya”, the ensemble “Kalyna” operating under the Ukrainian Association “Zherelo”, all employees of the Consulate General , who came with their families, 30 trees were planted.
