What is the International Wild Flower Festival?

This summit will be just one part of the 15th edition of the International Wild Flower Festival, a biodiversity festival held annually in Bohinj to educate people on the importance of wild flower meadows, in addition to showcasing the natural beauty of Bohinj and Slovenia. With 97% of the UK’s wild flower meadows eradicated, the festival plays an important role in reminding us what is at stake in our fight against climate change.

This year the festival will be a hybrid event, allowing visitors to experience colourful meadows, fragrant forests, breathtaking hiking trails and unforgettable views whilst those that can’t travel can still take part in the workshops and talks. Taking place between Friday 28th May and Sunday 13th June, the festival offers a programme of events that include wild food cookery classes, beekeeping tutorials, lakeside yoga classes, virtual plant workshops and virtual music concerts.
