With the upcoming summer, everyone connected to the university as its employees, alumni, or supporters traditionally gathers at the CZU Suchdol campus. This year, the Garden Fest will occur on Saturday, June 14, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and golden, diamond, and silver graduations will accompany it. We invite you to a day full of fun, learning, and inspiration for the whole family.
Ceremonial moments in the packed auditorium await those who left the auditorium twenty-five, fifty, or even sixty years ago. 200 gold, 260 silver, and 15 diamond graduates will come to receive their commemorative diplomas. After the graduation ceremony, each of them can tour the campus and individual faculties and find out what has changed over the years. Many will welcome the opportunity to enjoy something from the Garden Festival program.
The university-wide summer party starts at 11 a.m. with a program on the stage, where musical productions will alternate and where the opening ceremony will take place. This year's novelty is the demonstration of projects supported by EU funds. An attractive program with guided tours has traditionally been prepared for its visitors by the faculties. A visit to the greenhouses of the FTA Botanical Garden can also be a welcome diversion. Children can look forward to a bouncy castle, creative workshops, face painting, a 360° video corner, and other attractions.
The fair will feature university wine from Mělník, student beer Suchdolský Jeník, and authentic raspberry lemonade. And, of course, there will be plenty of delicacies such as grilled sausages, marmalade, beef burgers, potatoes with bacon, and popular hot dogs.
By purchasing one of the selected products, it will be possible to support programs to save the endangered Derby antelope or sea turtles. Flowers from the Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Recourses horticulture or wooden products from the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences workshop will be available. The Point One business incubator will present its successful start-ups, such as GreenGlazz, ReKáva, Leon diapers (washable diapers for rabbits), and others.
The Garden Fest is a university celebration of the upcoming summer and an opportunity to meet across generations.
