Family leisure programs, guided tours, and playful exploration of the flora await visitors at the end of April, and the long weekend in early May, at the Folly Arboretum, founded 120 years ago in Badacsonyörs (northern shore of Lake Balaton), the owner of the arboretum revealed.
Réka Folly said that they will held a “spring adoption day” on the last Saturday in April, and everyone who has adopted a tree in the arboretum in the last six months is invited. There will be garden activities and a barbecue terrace where visitors will be able to taste the new spring menu of the arboretum’s restaurant.
Starting this weekend, guided tours will be enriched with a program of the botanical garden and family history from the past 120 years.

The anniversary will also be celebrated on May 1, and the following long weekend. A guided tour will start from the Palatine monastery in Salföld, with a 120-minute walk. After the hike, visitors and owners of the arboretum will place a time capsule, said Folly.
She added that the long weekend will include a Rhine Riesling-themed tasting and wine dinner, featuring the best Folly wines of recent years, and a garden walk with light painting. Visitors can also try out the Folly family escape room.

A photo competition has also been launched, with archival family photos taken in the arboretum invited until May 1. The photos will be used to compile a commemorative book that will be presented at the end of the jubilee year, she added.
Folly apprised that the arboretum was founded in 1905, by Gyula Folly. The doctor at the Zsolnay factory in Pécs planted the first trees on the side of Kisörsi Hill. The garden has been tended by his descendants ever since.
The Mediterranean arboretum is now one of the most important sites for cedar and cypress trees in Hungary, as well as for many other plant species.
