Garden with a reason.
where art and nature meets.
Welcome to Kržišnik Garden, a hidden gem in the heart of Žiri, Slovenia, where landscape design, visual art, and gastronomy converge. This is more than a garden—it is a living legacy of Juta Krulc, Slovenia’s pioneering garden architect, and her family, who continue her vision with care and creativity.
Designed as a sequence of "green rooms" surrounding the family home of artist Tomaž Kržišnik, the garden offers a rich botanical journey through carefully curated plantings. Here you'll find peonies, irises, roses, maples, birches, and hundreds of other species, selected for their harmony with nature and their beauty across the seasons.
But Kržišnik Garden is not only a horticultural treasure—it is also an open-air gallery, a cultural venue, and a setting for immersive dining experiences.
Who We Are
We are a family-run cultural space devoted to nurturing nature, art, and heritage. Our mission is to offer visitors a place of beauty, reflection, and inspiration—rooted in the philosophy of thoughtful, sustainable living.
Our Vision
We envision Kržišnik Garden as a sanctuary for the senses, a place to learn, create, and reconnect. Through guided visits, exhibitions, and garden-to-table cuisine, we invite guests to experience the spirit of Juta Krulc, who believed:
“A garden must live with its people. It must change them. Reveal their true nature.”
