They want to experience a genuine feeling and see the way people live and breathe. The wooden houses hold many stories from different centuries.<\/p><p class=\"section-intro-krs__text\">In June, the event \u00d6ppna portar \u2013 Avoimet portit (\u201dOpen gates\u201d) takes place in Kristiinankaupunki&#039;s city centre. During this event, some house owners leave their gates open and let people come in and take a look at their gardens. Some of them even let the visitors take a look inside their house.<\/p><p class=\"section-intro-krs__text\">Everyone will then get the chance to enjoy and become acquainted with different types of gardens. There are paved gardens, wild gardens, modern gardens, Japanese-influenced gardens, and courtyards with plants whose seeds that\u2014perhaps by accident\u2014were brought here with ballast during the seafaring era, for instance from the Mediterranean region.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n<section data-etch-element=\"section\" class=\"etch-oo1o7ha\"><div data-etch-element=\"container\" class=\"etch-vcojc7a\">\n<p>The event has become a success among visitors.
