Um dos personagens principais é Maria, uma estalajadeira; sempre uma noiva, mas nunca uma esposa. Ela encontra o recém-chegado Pierre, que perturba a paz da pequena aldeia e ensina os moradores a aproveitar a vida. O filme está cheio de fogos de artifício de cores bonitas, e uma sensação agradável. É como um carrossel de humor e situações humanas que nos levam para longe, desde o primeiro fotograma ao final inesperado, fazendo com que o espectador ria alegremente. Usando uma abordagem de mosaico para a linha narrativa tradicional, o cineasta cria uma imagem de alegria bastante anárquica. "Celebração no Jardim Botânico" é um mundo de fantasia, cheio de diversão de verão, bom humor e deleite. A estreia de E. Havetta foi inspirada por arte ingénua, impressionismo francês, e silencioso burlesco, bem como as tradições folclóricas eslovacas ocidentais.
