Kargopol is the historical small town on the shores of Onega river in Arkhangelsk Oblast that cares about history big and small details. Small like seeds of traditional herbs, vegetables that had been used for cooking local gastronomical dishes.

One of the active residents in Kargopol, Maria Klocheva, mostly known as Marusya, has estabilished a creative space Marusin Dom after one of our consultaions, where she offers lots of unique events, like tea parties, historic perfomances, workshops and even some who knows what mysterious rituals. There is a large garden next to it, where Marusya recreated an open for visit garden, where tourists can get familiar with the traditional plants and herbs that had been widespread among the residents of Kargopol centuries before.
