1 The cosmonauts garden is located north of the city behind the Cosmonaut Hotel, where cosmonauts stay before their launch. For the first flights, they stayed in the " Gagarin house” located in the cosmodrome. This is the only really green space in Baikonur. Three allays are lined with trees, traditionally planted by each cosmonaut before his first launch.
2 The main alley dedicated to the first cosmonauts is well maintained and the trees are vigorous.
3 The first tree to the left is the tree planted by Gagarin

5 The two aisles dedicated to latest cosmonauts are somewhat neglected. In fact, many trees are dead. The tree of Jean Loup Chrétien is skinny. Note: the date on the panel (1989) does not match any flights from Jean-Loup Chrétien with the Soviets (1982 and 1988).
6 The tree of Michel Tognini (1992) is dead.
7 At the end of the main alley a Proton rocket model overlooking the Syr-Darya River.
