Soil, seed and neighbours — tended together since 1957.

We are a member chapter of the Czech Gardening Union. For close to seven decades our members have cultivated allotment plots, taught organic growing to anyone willing to learn, and defended the green edges of our towns from neglect.

    Seasonal advice

    Mulch deep before the dry weeks

    With three weeks of low rainfall forecast for the Most basin, the plot committee recommends a 7–10 cm straw or grass-clipping mulch on all bed crops. Water at dusk, at the root, never over the leaf.

    Members' meeting

    Summer assembly: water tariff and the shared shed

    Members approved the 2026/27 water contribution unchanged at 18 CZK/m³ and voted to re-roof the communal tool shed with volunteer labour over two September weekends.

    Environment

    Pollinator strip along the northern fence

    Two hundred metres of mown lawn were converted to a native flowering strip with the town's consent. Cutting is now limited to one late-summer pass, leaving overwintering habitat intact.

    Education

    Sixty-one children through the seedling programme

    Three primary schools joined our spring sowing sessions. Each child left with a labelled seedling, a compost lesson and a promise to report back in autumn.
