Description
This Czech-language book offers a kind and humorous look at gardening, exploring the history and curiosities behind plant hunters, the wheelbarrow, and Saint Fiacre, the patron saint of gardeners. It celebrates the colorful richness of Czech botanical names, including unusual names such as píchoš, boubelka, and kokoška, and asks why bees and earthworms deserve monuments. Digging in the soil, transplanting, propagating plants, and observing the connections between the worlds of plants and people are presented as more entertaining than they may first appear. The book is intended especially for anyone who has fallen at least a little under the spell of this beautiful passion. And what was at the beginning? A spade.
