The idea of the garden grew out of love for life on the island of Hvar

In the picturesque village of Gdinj, a unique fjori fôra garden has sprung up; the real Hvar in miniature with an abundance of wild plants that testify to the biodiversity of the island of Hvar and the traditional diligence of the islanders and their coexistence with nature.

Like other gardens on the island, this one is the result of long-term, well-planned work: the area of the former vineyard and fields of lavender and rosemary, overgrown with vegetation, was carefully cleared, and the old dry walls were rearranged by hand in order to properly divide the plot into six smaller fields. The beds were then planted with seeds, transplanted cuttings and adult wild plants collected from different areas of the island of Hvar.

Each of the six fields is dedicated to a special group of plants that the islanders have used in their daily lives for centuries: edible plants, plants for the production of cosmetic and medicinal preparations, plants for the production and dyeing of textiles… A circular path leads through the fields, all the way to the resting place – place for the presentation and tasting of authentic island products, carefully selected for the brand fjori fôra.

Visitors can enjoy a pleasant independent walk in the garden and view the plant pools, take photos in the suit of a beekeeper or the driver of a floral oldtimer, and visit a shop with unique souvenirs. In addition, organized educational programs with expert guidance await them: for example, a tasting tour of the garden where they can get to know the flora of Hvar through all their senses, or a tour dedicated to aromatherapy that will introduce them to the production cycle of essential oils.

Brand fjori fôra celebrates the essence of the way of life on the island of Hvar, embodied in the Ćurin family, which has been growing lavender since 1955. Plantations and wild plants are cultivated and harvested as before, by hand, without the use of machinery, and from them they obtain completely natural products based on essential oils and spices. All these products are gathered in the brand fjori fôra, whose packaging design with traditional art motifs of plants and the name, which means “flowers of Hvar” in dialect, bring a piece of the Mediterranean into every home.

Fjori fôra garden is a precious dedication to human perseverance and dedication to nature and an essential destination for anyone who wants to smell, taste and experience the island of Hvar in its fullness.

Contribution to the development of the eastern part of the island of Hvar

By purchasing our products, you support the somewhat forgotten and neglected eastern part of the island of Hvar – the village of Gdinj, which has fewer and fewer people, and the Fjori fôra garden, which was created as a sign of thanks to the island’s hard workers. 🫶

  Prekrasno mjesto, sa impresivnim zalaskom sunca. Inovativna ideja cijelog projekta, koja osvjezava turisticku ponudu Hvara. Voditelj Emil koji nas je proveo kroz park strucan i simpatican, ponudio nas je smokvama i domacom rakijom. Proizvodi koji su u ponudi za kupnju su odlican i kvalitetan suvenir, veselimo se upotrebi istih. Dajemo svoju potporu da projekt zazivi, vratit cemo se da vidimo kako planovi napreduju.
