Attractions for animal lovers
Traditionally, during the SGGW Days, there will be many attractions for fauna lovers. On Saturday, in front of the Palace (Rector’s Office), there will be some shows with police and rescue dogs, then a dog show (handling), i.e. the art of presenting dogs at dog shows. Behind the university apiary, there will be a presentation of police horses and birds of prey shows (owls, falcons, hawks). Other animals will also be present. Student science clubs representing the Faculty of Breeding, Bioengineering and Animal Protection will present aquarium fish, various species of reptiles, amphibians, mice and insects at their stands. Visitors will be able to admire ornamental chickens, quails, goats, sheep and domestic cavy known as guinea pig, as well as the interior of a bee hive. At the Open University stand you will be able to look at the world through the eyes of insects.
Attractions for plant lovers
Ornamental plants and shrubs’ shows have become a permanent feature of this university picnic. During the SGGW Days, our students and scientists will share tips on how to choose plants and grow them in a home garden. Our guests will also be invited for a dendrological walk and a guided tour of the Plant Collection. Then, during the floristic workshops, anyone can learn how to compose wreaths. Loads of competitions and exploring the world of plants with the help of our own senses can be great fun for children and adults. If you want to find out what a tree race is or where the forest has its beginning, we invite you to visit the stands prepared by forestry students.
