DID YOU KNOW – FREE TOURS IN REYKJAVIK BOTANICAL GARDEN ON FRIDAYS

Every Friday in June, July and August the Reykjavik Botanic Garden offers a free guided tour in English.

The tour takes about 30 minutes and the themes are the history of the garden and the 8 collections on display, especially the Icelandic Flora collection.

The themes of each tour vary depending on the plant display that week.
The Botantic Garden opened in 1961 and encompasses 12 acres.
The garden’s main role is to conserve plants for education, research and delight. It conserves some 3000 plant species in eight plant collections. The collections give an idea of the enormous diversity of vegetation in the northern temperate zone.

DID YOU KNOW
Iceland Approved The 4-Day Workweek In 2019, Nearly 6 Years Later, All The Predictions Made By Generation Z Have Come True.

The Icelandic experiment began in 2015 with a pilot phase involving around 2,500 employees, or just over 1% of the country’s working population. Following the resounding success of this initiative, with 86% of the employees involved expressing their support, the project was formalized in 2019.
Today, almost 90% of Icelandic workers benefit from a reduced working week of
36 hours, compared with 40 hours previously, with no loss of pay.

Initial concerns about the four-day week were widespread, both in Iceland and elsewhere in the world. There were fears of a drop in productivity, increased costs for businesses and difficulties in adapting to maintain service levels. However, the Icelandic experience has swept these fears under the carpet.

Icelandic reports show that productivity has remained stable, and even increased in some sectors. One of the keys to this success lies in improving the mental health of workers, a crucial aspect highlighted by Generation Z. The reduction in stress, combined with a better work-life balance, has had a significant positive impact on employee well-being.

For 90% of Icelanders, the 36-hour week means less stress, more job satisfaction
and more time to enjoy life.

DID YOU KNOW-
Iceland's purple waves of lupine. Throughout June and July, Iceland comes alive with the color of blooming lupines.

Alaska lupines were widely introduced to Iceland in the 1940s to help address the problem of erosion. Over decades, the pretty purple flower has become an icon of Icelandic summer and an attraction in the tourism industry, the primary driver of Iceland's economy.

Nitrogen-fixing ability: Lupines can enrich the soil by drawing nitrogen from the air into the ground, making it more suitable for other plant growth.
Hardiness: This species thrives in Iceland’s challenging environment, tolerating cold temperatures, poor soil, and high winds.

Lupines can be seen across Iceland, from the lowlands to highland areas, peaking in late June and early July. Their vibrant purple hue contrasts beautifully with Iceland’s stark volcanic landscapes, making them a popular subject for photographers and nature enthusiasts.

Want to see for yourself- we can arrange private custom tour itineraries.

DID YOU KNOW- ICELAND HAS SEVERAL BLACK SAND BEACHES.

In general, sand is formed when rocks are broken down into smaller and smaller pieces by weathering and erosion. This process takes millions of years, and the color of the sand depends on what rocks were broken down.

The common tan-colored sand of most beaches, is comprised of feldspar and quartz, among other minerals.Black sand is formed from volcanic material that has been eroded, such as basalt rocks and lava. And since Iceland has over 200 volcanoes, there’s a lot of volcanic material to go around.
The island’s loose rocks travel down rivers and are attacked by tides until they are ground into dust.

Perhaps the most famous of Iceland’s back sand beaches is Reynisfjara close to the town of Vik on the South coast of Iceland about 2 ½ hours from Reykjavik. Adding to its beauty is the addition of the basalt columns.

We will be visiting Reynisfjara on our October Knitting tour-October 12-18.
Hope you can join us, there are still a few spaces left. Contact me for more details
