Roses were planted near the Heavenly Hundred memorial in Mykolaiv at the initiative of a Hero’s mother

In Mykolaiv, on the eve of the Day of Dignity and Freedom, roses were planted near the monument to the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred. The initiative of the mother of a fallen Hero was supported by civic organizations, marines and municipal landscaping workers.

The idea was proposed by Tamara Kemska, mother of Serhii Kemskyi, a Hero of the Heavenly Hundred who was killed during the Revolution of Dignity. She brought her proposal to Member of Parliament of Ukraine Ihor Kopytin, who supported her request.

The “My Home – Mykolaiv” NGO organized the fundraising and ordered the roses.

The following also joined the planting:

• representatives of the “State Protection” NGO;
• marines;
• the team of Mykolaiv Parks Municipal Enterprise.

The municipal enterprise’s staff prepared the soil and marked a spot for each bush in advance. Then they planted the roses together with the other participants and watered them right away.

Mykolaiv Parks will also take care of the bushes going forward, helping them take root so they can bloom by the monument.
