Weekend of Open Parks and Gardens
June 6-8, in selected parks and gardens of Bratislava.
Over 500 parks and gardens in 23 European countries will participate in the Open Parks and Gardens Weekend, celebrating green spaces' cultural and ecological importance. Slovakia will also take part, welcoming both public and private gardens to join.
This year’s theme, “Stone in the Garden”, highlights the artistic and structural roles of stone in garden design. The event invites the public to explore a wide variety of garden styles and promotes awareness of their preservation and beauty.
