The Jerusalem Botanical Garden at Givat Ram will host a special "election day" on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, inviting visitors to choose their favorite Israeli wildflower. Instead of political candidates, eight native wildflowers will compete for votes, with participants selecting the flower they believe is most worthy of leading the garden's seed project. The event aims to raise public awareness about the importance of conserving Israel's wildflowers and protecting local flora and biodiversity.
Alongside the voting, the garden will offer guided tours of its plant collections and themed plots, a "flower train" tour of different garden sections, and family workshops inspired by wildflowers and nature conservation. The Jerusalem Botanical Garden spans approximately 150 dunams and features over 7,400 plant species from around the world, organized into six geographical sections.
The event will take place from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The activities are included with the garden's regular admission fee, with free entry for garden members. Further details can be obtained by calling 02-6794012 or visiting the garden's website.
