Tailored Advice for Czech Gardens
Generic gardening guides often fail to account for the specific challenges of Central European climate. The Czech Republic experiences continental weather patterns with cold winters, warm summers, and variable spring conditions that can catch gardeners off guard.
Our guides are developed based on local experience and scientific research from institutions like the Czech University of Life Sciences. We focus on practical solutions that work in real Czech gardens, not theoretical advice from different climate zones.
