Peony Nursery „Ziedoņi”
Peony nursery Ziedoņi is located in the Western Latvia, district of Kuldīga in Pelči village. I had a chance to visit this garden mid June 2016, at time when flowers did bloom.

In fact more than flowers I actually enjoyed a short conversation with husband of the garden owner and we were talking about grass mowing. Peony display garden In June…
