Colored 2 euro coin Lithuania 2024 – Straw Gardens

Straw gardens are geometric designs made from natural straw fibers that are strung together in triangles and squares. They decorate Lithuanian homes and are deeply rooted in Lithuanian culture. In ancient cultures, triangles symbolized spirit and squares symbolized matter, the combination of which forms a garden.
The making of straw gardens is an activity that is still valued today. Maintaining this tradition helps to preserve the unique cultural heritage. The inclusion of straw gardens in the UNESCO list in 2023 is an important step in their preservation and will help continue the tradition of their production in Lithuania.
