As early as 4 July At the University of Latvia Botanical Garden the meadow will meet the garden, and we will be able to understand, experience and enjoy one of Latvia’s most valuable ecosystems – natural grasslands.
At the heart of the Meadow Festival – the interaction between humans and nature. How can we create an environment in which plants, insects and humans coexist in harmony? The festival will offer a mix of learning, inspiration and practical workshops.
“Novada Garša” looks forward to welcoming you to the “Discovery Zone”, where, together with the “Dabisko pļavu produkts” brand, we will be offering informative and entertaining activities.
A brief overview of the 2026 Pļavas Festival programme:
Meadow produce market: tea, honey, dairy products, medicinal seeds, cosmetics, etc.
Lectures, masterclasses and workshops: on meadow restoration, landscape changes, species migration, etc.
The event is organised by Latvian Nature Fund and its aim is to highlight the importance of meadows in the urban environment, to promote public awareness of nature and to encourage practical involvement in its conservation. The full programme is available On the LDF website and on social media.
