Mozirje Grove (Mozirski gaj) is a flower park and an open-air ethnographic museum in Mozirje, arranged by Slovenian gardeners and locals in the 1980s. It arose from an overgrown market-town common, in which there were illegal rubbish dumps. In this way they transformed the desecrated nature into a flower park.
It lies on the right bank of the Savinja River, extends over an area of 7 ha, and is open from mid-April to mid-October. During this time, flower exhibitions take place, and themed gardens are also arranged, e.g. a group of aromatic plants and medicinal herbs; ethnographic structures serve to add variety.
Since 2016, the park has also been open from 1 December to 6 January of the following year. During this period, the Christmas Fairy Tale of Slovenia takes place. The park is then decorated with more than a million lights.
