October 22 brings a special Ginkgo Day celebration to the ELTE Botanical Garden (ELTE Füvészkert), just as the ginkgo tree displays its stunning golden leaves. This isn’t just your usual garden stroll—Dr. László Orlóci kicks off the day with a lecture and introduces his new book, revealing the unique history and diversity of the ginkgo biloba.
Hands-on Ginkgo Fun
The afternoon isn’t just for book lovers; Rita Engel leads a workshop where you can craft your own ginkgo tea blend, make capsules, and even roast ginkgo seeds. It’s a rare chance to get creative and enjoy tasty ways to use ginkgo.
Bonsai Grand Finale
To wrap up the day, Gergő Schmidt hosts a live bonsai demonstration, showing off tiny trees with mighty presence. Whether you’re interested in botany or simply want to bask in the glory of autumn, this event brings a full dose of ginkgo magic to an unforgettable day.
