During the festival, guests will be welcomed by the inhabitants of the “Garden of Babylon”. The poet Vincent, will give visitors a lot of funny jokes and compliments. Danutė, a Lithuanian woman who is crazy about Lithuanian culture, will tell the most interesting stories about significant events in the country. And the charming princess of Babylon Gardens, for whom her husband founded the park, will make you feel as if you were in a royal palace where everything is meticulously decorated.

We were really impressed by the meticulously landscaped park, which is very well maintained. And the best part is that you can buy seedlings in the park.
