Garden of Hecate conceptual space opens in Shekvetili
05.08.2026.22:50
A new conceptual space, the Garden of Hecate, has opened in the Musicians’ Park in Shekvetili.
According to Starring Georgia, it is a destination where gardens, gastronomy, botanical culture, and design merge into a single immersive experience.

“The Garden of Hecate was conceived with the idea of making interaction with nature not merely a moment of relaxation, but an integral part of everyday life. The concept of the space unites a living greenhouse, a plant-inspired kitchen, bespoke beverages crafted specifically for the project, a curated tea collection, aromatic products, and various educational activities.

The project aims to bring another distinct and engaging destination to Shekvetili. The Garden of Hecate is already hosting its first guests, and educational workshops will be held there in the near future. The concept of the space echoes the mythological realm of Hecate and Medea. A Medea’s Corner has been arranged within the garden, featuring plants and stories associated with Georgian mythological heritage. In this way, the Garden of Hecate brings mythology to life through a contemporary interpretation, connecting cultural narratives with nature and gastronomy.

A key project feature is the greenhouse, where various ornamental plant species are grown. Visitors to the Garden of Hecate can explore the greenhouse, discover diverse flora, and choose to purchase saplings to take home. Thus, the experience gained here does not end with the visit; guests take a piece of the garden home with them. The Garden of Hecate welcomes visitors daily from 14:00 to 00:00,” the statement from Starring Georgia reads.
Projects by Starring Georgia are implemented with the support of the Georgian Ministry of Culture.
