The first idea we latched onto was growing furniture, as it is something unseen. We realised that for a piece of furniture to grow, as a minimum, the smallest items require at least four years.

Essentially, a smaller piece of furniture can reach customers within four or five years, but chairs, which most of our saplings will become, will be ready after seven or even ten years, depending on the piece.

Design furniture growers from Great Britain have already become online friends. Meanwhile, the people of Cīrava have encouraged their overseas friends to open their garden to visitors and develop it as a tourist attraction. Cīrava already has a forest park and other assets, so another site in Aizpute municipality would only complement those already in existence.
