Roots

From a leap of faith to a thriving collective, our story spans two decades of passion, innovation, and community - guided by five unwavering truths.

2003

What began as a family holiday to Croatia turned into a life-changing opportunity. Within a year, we relocated to Zadar and opened our first venture: The Garden Lounge.

2006

True to our roots, we launched Croatia's pioneering international music event, The Garden Festival. Over six years, it grew into a cultural phenomenon, expanding to seven events and welcoming 20,000 visitors annually from 36+ countries - a celebration of inclusivity.

2012

A new chapter unfolded as we moved to Tisno, creating The Garden Resort - a hub for summer music events - and revitalising the iconic open-air Barbarellas' Discotheque. Every experience was crafted to spark joyful moments, blending holidays with rhythm.

2015

2016

Embracing innovation, we opened The Garden Brewery & Taproom in Zagreb, merging craft beer with community. By 2020, demand drove us to a larger brewery, reflecting our commitment to being a force for good through sustainable growth and local partnerships.

Today

From a family adventure to a dynamic collective - The Garden Productions, Resort, Brewery, Barbarellas, and The Garden Full Circle - we stand united by our Five Core Truths: a love of music, equility, joy, purpose, and quality.

What started as a dream under the Croatian sun is now The Garden Collective: a testament to bold beginnings, evolution, and the magic of growing together
