Under the guidance of Ƶ scientists, St. Petersburg schoolchildren created two interior landscaping projects. The projects use samples of artificial soil substrates developed at the University at the Department of Nanostructured, Fibrous and Composite Materials named after A. I. Meos. Such soil is suitable for growing plants in Arctic conditions, on submarines and in space.
Thanks to the collaboration with Ekaterina Shirshova and Tamara Mkrtchyan, scientists from the Department of Economics and Finance at St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, the development of chemical scientists was implemented in two school projects to create a green plant wall and vertical landscaping using artificial soils.

As a result of her work in the university's laboratories, a student of gymnasium No. 148 named after Sofia Fishman presented a design project for the arrangement of green plant panels in the interior of Cervantes, and Vladimir Druzyagin, student No. 488, developed a prototype of a "green wall" with an artificial substrate containing planted plants. Vladimir equipped the model of the "green wall" with lighting and automatic irrigation. In addition, under the supervision of university student Tatiana Druzyagina, the student conducted his own research and evaluated the effectiveness of the growth of several plant species in artificial substrate samples.
