A private but accessible garden with woody plants collected from many areas dedicated to anti-fascism and peace.
Translated from Slovenian Wikipedia:
The Garden of Remembrance and Comradeship in Petanjci is a park and a protected cultural monument in Petanjci, Prekmurje. The garden was established after World War II. The symbolic and actual roots of the garden are the Žalujka willow trees, planted by the mother of Vanek Šiftar, a Prekmurje intellectual and professor emeritus at the University of Maribor, in memory of her two sons who did not return from the war.
The garden has a rich botanical collection of more than 450 different trees and shrubs, native and donated plants from around the world, planted in memory of the suffering of people during World War II. The garden's motto "To all the dead who fought against fascism and Nazism, in eternal memory and to the living in constant remembrance" and the garden's anthem "Barefoot let us go, girl, let us go together", a poem by Karel Destovnik Kajuh, also recall the garden's mission: "To all the dead who fought against fascism and Nazism, in eternal memory and to the living in constant remembrance".
The garden is part of the protected garden architectural heritage and belongs to the network of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta of Slovenia. The garden is managed by the Dr. Šiftar Foundation. The Prekmurje Research Station of the Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (ZRC SAZU) is also located here.
