The botanical park in Palanga (Lithuania) was founded in 1897 by Count Felix Tyshkevichius. The park was designed by the famous French landscape architect René Andre.
Every year in September florists place such cute compositions, using flowers, tree bark and other natural materials to create them.

Crafting amber into art and jewellery has a long history in the coastal areas of Lithuania, around the Curonian Spit, Palanga, and Klaipeda.
In around 98 AD, the Roman historian Tacitus wrote the following about what he called the "Aesti" (eastern) tribes who lived on the "right bank" of the Baltic Sea:
"Upon the right of the [Baltic] Sea the Aestian nations reside, who use the same customs and attire with the [Germans]... They even search the deep, and of all the rest are the only people who gather amber. They call it glesum, and find it amongst the shallows and upon the very shore."
Here are some examples of the exquisite amber jewellery currently on display at the amber museum (Palangos Gintaro Muziejus) in Palanga, Lithuania.
The museum itself is in a beautifully restored century-old mansion in the city gardens, just a short walk from both the beach and the town's main promenade.

The Curonian Spit in Lithuania. Where lush green woods (planted by hand over 250 years) meet brilliant white sand dunes.
The spit sits between the Baltic Sea and a freshwater lagoon.
It's a short coach ride from the seaside cities of Palanga or Klaipeda, which includes a ferry ride.
