Bloom, berries and mingle!

August is the "Golden Hour" of the Finnish forest. Before the autumn chill sets in and the leaves turn to gold, join the Bloom Lahti community for a traditional berry-picking adventure. Whether you're a seasoned forager or a first-time picker, there’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of harvesting your own superfoods straight from the source.
