Working on the land is a source of inspiration, and a country house is where work blends naturally with rest.
Summer at the dacha is a special time. Days pass unhurriedly, the air is filled with the scent of freshly cut grass and blooming linden, and time seems to slow down. Many try to escape the city precisely in summer. Some gladly immerse themselves in garden chores — weeding, watering, harvesting the first berries, others simply stroll around the plot, listen to the birdsong and admire the sunsets. For some it's a season of active work and abundant harvest, for others — a time of quiet and unhurried conversations over a cup of tea on the veranda..
Interesting facts:
- A source of vigor and good mood at the dacha is the fresh scent of dill, mint and flowering herbs. True aromatherapy!
- Why mosquitoes fear DEET. In summer blood-sucking insects cause a lot of inconvenience to dacha-goers. The most effective protection is repellents with DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide). This substance blocks the olfactory receptors of insects: mosquitoes and ticks simply do not sense the human scent and cannot locate it.
- A dacha plot can attract ticks if there is a forest nearby or tall grass on the property. In 2026 tick activity remains high. By mid-July the number of medical consultations after bites reached approximately 386 thousand people. Reliable protection is a special anti-encephalitis suit. The design of the suit «Expedition Lux» (trap folds on the sleeves and trouser legs, wristband cuffs and a mesh on the hood) prevents ticks from getting under clothing.
- Writers who were dacha-goers. Leo Tolstoy at Yasnaya Polyana built greenhouses and conservatories, kept bees, and his garden numbered 8 thousand trees: apple, pear, plum, peach. Anton Chekhov in Melikhovo and in Crimea planted 152 species of plants and joked that he could grow a tree from a stick. Alexander Kuprin at his dacha in Gatchina grew potatoes by the hundredweight. At that time working in the vegetable garden was not considered shameful even for the elite.
We warmly congratulate you on Dacha Day! We wish you a bountiful harvest, good weather, abundant blooms and robust health. May your beds please you with abundance, fruit trees with sweet fruit, and flowerbeds with bright colors.
