At the Kaliņi Farm Nursery, also known as Raunas stādi (Rauna Plants), you can buy very well-tended summer flowers, perennial plants, ornamental shrubs and woody plants. You can also see the same plants growing in the backyard to appreciate how they blossom and thrive.

The nursery is divided into two parts – a production area with greenhouses, and a garden. Both are tended to by agronomist Lāsma Riekstiņa and her family. Summer flowers, perennial plants, grasses, vegetables and herbs, and, in smaller quantities, also ornamental shrubs and conifers are grown in the nursery. The wide assortment of plants will appeal to everyone, whether they are looking for ordinary varieties, or looking for something new and interesting for their garden, flowerbed or flower box. The active season at the nursery is between April and October.

Many of the perennial plants grown in the nursery can be found in the outdoor flowerbeds: new varieties are planted in the family garden to test whether the harsh Vidzeme climate is suitable for them. The owners like the garden to be lively with butterflies and bees flying around, which is why they focus on planting varieties that will attract them such as echinaceas, dense blazing stars, verbenas, various mints and herbs. Phlox, heucheras and summer flowers give the garden its bright colours. The owners are very fond of grasses, so you can see more than one grass composition blowing in the wind that add airiness and movement to the flowerbeds.

There is still a lot of space in the garden and things change all the time – old flowerbeds are expanded and new ones are made in which to try out some of the wonders from their own selection, or ones found in various markets. Visitors to the nursery can always find something new here.
