KOKI village changes with the seasons, and throughout the year we invite families to experience nature in different ways through walks, workshops, seminars, celebrations and masterclasses.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Seminar: TREES BEFORE AND AFTER THE STORM
We invite you to a seminar at Anna’s Tree School focusing on tree care, safety, and opportunities in the urban environment. We will also discuss how fallen trees can be given a new purpose in the city and how natural playgrounds can be created even on a limited budget! This day is for those who make everyday decisions about trees, public spaces, safety, and the environment around us.
Seminar LET THE CHILDREN OUTSIDE!
We believe that children need to spend time in NATURE in order to learn how to live. We invite preschool and primary school teachers, parents and everyone who works with children in their everyday lives to join us for the seminar! We will talk about how to create an environment that allows children to explore, try things for themselves, make mistakes, get dirty and learn far more than they ever could simply by sitting indoors.
FATHERS’ AND GRANDFATHERS’ DAY
With the cheerful laughter of our youngest guests and the joyful excitement of the dads, we celebrated a special day dedicated to fathers at KOKI – Father’s Day. The children watched with great enthusiasm as their dads took part in a special quiz game, completing challenges that tested their knowledge, agility, and attention to detail. The dads had a chance to show their skills in hammering nails, climbing trees, identifying different tools and fish, and much more!
ANNAS Celebration at Annas Koku Skola
This will be a day to meet, get to know one another, share stories and celebrate summer together. There will be activities and games for children, workshops, delicious treats, a craft market and plenty of other delights. We will open the White Pavilion, celebrate all the Annas and enjoy the festivities together!
THE PRE-MIDSUMMER PRUNING WORKSHOP HAS TAKEN PLACE!
Today, together with Edgars Neilands, we spent a full day dedicated to the art of pruning trees, shrubs and hedges. From theory to hands on practice in KOKI Park, the day was filled with work, shared knowledge, experience and professional tips.
We spent an inspiring day full of knowledge, taking a deeper look into the art of NIWAKI and BONSAI.
We began the morning with philosophy, with a lecture led by Inga Valtere, founder of “Ziemeļu Bonsai”. We gained valuable insight into how and why we shape trees, searching for a balance between nature, tools and the human hand. Under the guidance of Edgars Neilands and Aigars Priede, we learned how to shape different conifers by pruning, bending and discovering the unique character of each plant.
WE’VE CELEBRATED THE SPRING GARDEN FESTIVAL!
Together with friends, family, colleagues and other guests, we shared a truly warm and heartfelt celebration. It was a joy to see so many smiling and inspired faces! Together, we listened to Edgars Neilands present his latest labour of love, the book DĀRZNIEKA MANIFESTS. And KOKI Village’s NEW SHOW GARDEN is now officially open!
