On July 6, 2024, the ninth garden festival “See the World in Bloom” took place at the plant nursery! This year, it was held in a more subdued manner as a garden day in a festive atmosphere.
In addition to visiting the rose garden and purchasing rose, fruit tree, and berry bush seedlings at friendly prices, attendees could buy “Anita’s Crafts,” freeze-dried fruits and berries, delicious raspberries, and special “Liepa” mugs.

This year’s voting for the Rose of the Year was quite extensive, with a total of 43 rose varieties nominated. The variety ‘Mille et Une Nuits‘ won first place in the voting for this year’s rose, closely followed by ‘Gebruder Grimm‘ with just one vote less. Meanwhile, five rose varieties tied for third place – ‘Hot Chokolate‘, ‘Maria Theresia‘, ‘Cherry Lady‘, ‘Kordes Jubilee‘ and ‘Paprika‘.
Apples, pears, plums, raspberries, strawberries, and even peaches, along with other fruits and berries, are grown in Latvia, right here in our mixed-type fruit orchard at ZS “Liepas” . We use the integrated growing method in our cultivation, implementing environmentally friendly practices that reduce risks to human health and the environment.

During the drying process of fruits and berries, as water evaporates, their energy value increases proportionally, along with the amounts of fruit sugars, minerals, and protein substances (fiber) (according to SPKC data).
Freeze-dried/lyophilized products are:
