Exploring the vision of the garden of senses

Seno muižu parkos vienmēr bija atrodami augu dārzi, arī Lūznavas muiža vēlas turpināt tradīciju un iet tālāk, savijot kopā kultūras, kopienas, garšaugu, ārstniecības augu un citu dārza norišu sajūtas. Ikviens dārza apmeklētājs ir aicināts līdzdarboties, daloties ar dārza sēklām, dīgstiem, kopjot un papildinot kultūraugu dažādību. Sajūtu dārza idejas prezentācija notika Lūznavas muižas mini-Mākslas piknika laikā 2021. gada vasarā.
