OFFER

Come to the Botanical Garden in Salaspils for stories! Our guides have hundreds of stories that reveal the magic of the plant world. About the gnomes that live in the Garden’s avenue of avenues. About the ritual that must be performed for the fruit of the money tree to bring wealth. The amazing process of photosynthesis that sustains life on Earth. How, in the Garden’s laboratory, miracle workers in white coats conjure up plants in test tubes, turning them into dwarfs, and then push them back out. The Garden’s tour guides can put into words the countless stories that alien plants silently tell.
