Zahrádkář

The Czech Gardening Association (Český zahrádkářský svaz) is a national organization that supports gardeners through practical resources, education and community activities. Its website connects visitors with regional associations, specialist organizations, expert advisory services, a gardening calendar and a discussion forum. It also provides information about exhibitions and events across the country, including horticultural displays and competitions.

The association publishes the popular magazine Zahrádkář, which has served gardeners since 1969, and offers subscriptions, advertising and access to its archive. Its resources include fruit variety information, seasonal gardening advice and calendars, including a wall calendar featuring new Czech fruit varieties and a weekly tabletop calendar produced with SEMO a.s.

For younger gardeners, the Zahradníček program helps establish and support children’s gardening clubs, with guidance and teaching materials for new and existing groups. The association also organizes florist competitions and practical seasonal courses, where participants learn to create arrangements and take their work home. Through these publications, programs and events, it encourages gardening knowledge and skills across generations.
