Bulduri Secondary School’s historic park recently hosted a grand Plant Festival and Open Door Day, drawing a wide circle of visitors. Throughout the event, educators and students introduced guests to current educational programs and “green skills,” offering diverse masterclasses and hands-on activities. The day served as an excellent platform for knowledge exchange, allowing guests to purchase high-quality plants while experiencing firsthand the school’s modern learning environment and vibrant community energy.
Likteņdārzs (The Garden of Destiny) is a unique memorial site and a symbol of Latvia’s national resilience. Located on an island in the Daugava River, it is being created as a gift to the nation – a place where history, nature, and art intertwine to honor those lost to Latvia in the 20th century while looking toward a hopeful future.
During a recent volunteer workday, assistants from Bulduri worked shoulder to shoulder in groups. Our delegation included students and educators from the 4th-year “Horticulture Technician” and “Arborist (Tree Care)” programs. It was a magnificent day to prune and shape apple trees, applying practical skills in one of Latvia’s most beautiful and meaningful locations.
A beautiful school tradition has been reimagined at the Bulduri Technical School’s Great Hall with the celebration of Signet Day (formerly known as Signet Evening). This event honors our upcoming graduates in a fresh and uplifting atmosphere.
During the ceremony, students received special commemorative insignia -rings, pendants, or brooches. These tokens serve as a symbol of belonging, embodying the lifelong bond between the students, their peers, and the time spent at Bulduri.
As part of the Erasmus+ program, 4th-year Horticulture Technician students from Bulduri Technical School are undertaking an internship at a Dutch company, mastering plant logistics processes. Their daily tasks involve managing the flow of plants from delivery trucks to the warehouse, ensuring precise labeling and sorting, and applying their theoretical knowledge of Latin nomenclature to independently assemble customer orders. Alongside honing professional skills at the heart of the European horticulture industry, the students are broadening their horizons by exploring the canals of Amsterdam and the urban culture of Enschede, integrating international experience into their journey toward becoming competitive industry specialists.
A Landscape Construction Technician at Bulduri Technical School is a true master in whose hands natural materials are transformed into functional and aesthetic environments.
Today’s learning focus at the school is on small architectural forms. From their very first year, Bulduri students purposefully bridge theory and practice—moving from spatial planning to engineering solutions—learning exactly how design elements function within a garden setting. The ability to understand environmental needs, generate ideas, and realize them with one’s own hands represents the modern green skills taught at the technical school. These skills provide immediate added value and serve as a solid foundation for our students’ future careers.
The scholarship from the Bulduri Horticulture School Development Association is a forward-looking investment in the future of Latvia’s horticulture industry, providing motivated Bulduri Technical School students with 1,000 euros in financial support for their professional growth.

This initiative supports students throughout their studies and strengthens the synergy between the educational institution and industry development, fostering a knowledgeable and competitive new generation of specialists.
Horticulture Technician students of Bulduri Technical School visited one of Latvia’s most modern greenhouse complexes, where they gained firsthand assurance regarding the availability of local produce for the upcoming season and explored the role of the latest technologies in the modern horticulture business. Under the guidance of the facility’s management, the students studied how innovative engineering solutions and “green skills” ensure an efficient plant cultivation process in practice, providing future specialists with valuable insight into the daily operations of industry leaders while reinforcing theoretical knowledge in a real, high-tech work environment.
