Where there are flowers, there are emotions! 🌸
Eight of Latvia’s most beautiful and fascinating gardens invite you to discover “Paths of Flowers 2026”—a special journey combining beautiful plant collections, horticultural knowledge, culture, and inspiring experiences.
The initiative brings together:
🌸 Horticulture Institute’s Lilac Garden
🌿 The collection of Guna and Jānis Rukšāni
🌱 National Botanic Garden of Latvia
🌳 Lēdurga Dendropark
🌺 University of Latvia Botanical Garden
🌸 University of Latvia Rhododendron Selection and Experimental Nursery “Babīte”
🌲 Latvian State Forest Arboretum in Kalsnava
🌹 Rundāle Palace
Each garden offers its own unique atmosphere and story. Visitors can enjoy educational and exciting tours, cultural events, local festivals, and remarkable plant collections.
“Paths of Flowers” is about much more than beautiful blooms. It is an opportunity to discover diverse groups of woody plants and long-established collections, some of which have been cultivated and cared for over decades or even centuries. Together, the gardens tell stories of knowledge, dedication, and a passion for plants.
🌿 How to take part
The “Paths of Flowers 2026” journey runs until 30 October 2026.
To participate, visit at least four of the eight participating gardens and collect a stamp at each location.
🎟️ Participation cards are available at the gardens’ information centres and ticket offices.
Explore, learn, collect your stamps, and discover the incredible diversity of Latvia’s gardens!
