International rock gardeners meet in the Czech Republic
« on: May 24, 2013, 03:20:20 PM »
In early May the Czechs held their Second International Rock Garden Conference  - this proved a wonderful opportunity for a gathering of international rock gardeners from,  I think, 20 countries  8)
There are reports of the conference and garden visits elsewhere in the forum ( see here :
http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=10484.0 ) but I thought I would post "people pictures" here....
