The etnographic Dzūkija region invites you on a journey through green spaces – gardens, parks, and plant oases, where nature and human creativity merge into a single narrative. From the forests of Varėna to the hills of Alytus, the green spaces scattered here reveal unique layers of the landscape: the continuity of ancient traditions, modern plant combinations, a love for the environment, and the wisdom of the earth.

Gardens & Green Spaces Route is an invitation to pause, listen to the rustle of the greenery, admire the diversity of plants, and feel the tranquility of the garden and the dedication of its creators. Each garden is like a world of its own: in some, the wild spirit of nature dominates; in others, a meticulously maintained landscape or geometric order prevails. Yet, in every one of them, a profound respect for plants and space can be felt.

Here, you will find not only private and public gardens but also parks, arboretums, botanical collections, and artistic green solutions. These are places worth visiting if you are seeking inspiration for your own garden, peace, aesthetics, or simply a “green” refreshment during your travels through the Dzūkija region.

Discover the gardens of Dzūkija – living stories of nature and human creativity.
