In mid-September, the botanical garden of BGSKHA turned into an epicenter of style and aesthetics. Here the second open Horki Kitchen Garden Show took place — an event for those who saw the vegetable garden and garden as a space for creativity, beauty, and a special rhythm of life.

The main idea of the forum was to prove that a vegetable garden can be no less decorative than a flower bed, and the harvest can bring not only benefit but also aesthetic pleasure. Over these two days, the venue brought together a wide variety of people: from seasoned agronomist scientists and professional landscape designers to enthusiastic amateurs whose eyes light up at the sight of a rare tomato variety or a well-arranged flowerbed.

The two days of the event were packed with activities. The lecture segment immersed participants in the nuances of professional gardening: experts discussed the subtleties of plant mineral nutrition, the role of potassium in crop development, the benefits of green manures, and even the secrets of creating medicinal gardens. Special attention was given to the 'architecture' of the garden — discussing how to harmoniously incorporate sculptures and pavilions into the landscape.

The practical part of the forum turned into a true celebration for those who love working with their hands. Guests learned to build raised beds, create unique candles from natural beeswax, and mastered the nuances of caring for stone

The Horki Kitchen Garden Show is the result of a great team effort. The event was made possible through the initiative of the Belarusian State Academy of Agriculture and the support of partners who share a love for the land and the development of gardening culture.

The second open forum left a particularly warm impression. These two days were filled not only with valuable insights and professional discussions, but also with the incredible energy of people who are passionate about their work. Once again, the Horki Kitchen Garden Show proved that gardening is an art that makes our world more beautiful and harmonious.
