Most Attractive Flower Arrangement in Rīga Determined
The 3rd Baltic International Flower Bed Festival took place from 29 to 31 July 2025, simultaneously in the capitals of Lithuania (Vilnius), Latvia (Rīga), and Estonia (Tallinn). This collaborative event among the three Baltic capitals showcased horticultural creativity and urban beautification through flower bed designs [1].
The competition for the favourite flower bed was held annually in Riga, and this year marked the 3rd edition. The spectacular rose bed in front of the Vilnius Opera and Ballet Theatre received accolades from both the jury and the citizens, but it was the Choral Garden in Uzvaras Park in Rīga that emerged as the winner of this year's competition [2].
In Tallinn, the flower planting in front of the MOMU Motorsports Museum was voted the most beautiful. This motor track-shaped flower bed tells special stories about famous Estonian motorsport riders and their mothers [3]. Interestingly, the flower beds of "Rīgas meži" were dedicated to the XIII Latvian School Youth Song and Dance Festival this year [4].
The jury of plant management companies from the capitals visited each other's flower beds, design, maintenance, and judging in each city during the festival. The flower beds of Tallinn and Vilnius also received admiration from both the jury and the public [1].
After the festival, residents are still invited to enjoy the beauty of Riga's flowering plants. The flower beds of "Rīgas meži" will continue to be a part of an annual event in Riga, fostering local pride and contributing to the city's vibrant urban landscape [5].
Though specific details on the winners from each city or the names of participating capitals beyond these three are not provided in the search results, the repeated organization in these three cities indicates a tradition of cycling the festival among them or hosting it jointly to celebrate Baltic cooperation in cultural and environmental events [1].
Given it reached its third iteration in 2025 and involves major Baltic capitals, it is likely intended to continue as a recurring international event fostering regional collaboration and public engagement with urban green spaces. Future plans for the festival, however, are not detailed in the sources.
For those seeking the exact winners and detailed results, official festival websites or local municipal announcements shortly after the event would be the best sources for precise information.
