Participants should have received an email about this recently - 

Czech Koruna  (Crowns) are best for buying plants from any of the gardens or the main Prague Show . Euros are accepted in some shops.   "Plastic" works in many places.   Czech crowns are easiest.

As usual, The Conference committee is thinking about  everything!! 

"Dear participant,
time is running quickly and in two months we´ll welcome you in Pruhonice.

Program and transport to Pruhonice:
We would like to draw your attention to updated information about the conference on web http://czrgs.cz/ and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/czrgs/?fref=ts.
You can find there a detailed program and transport information.

Plants:
Similarly to the previous conference, we are able to arrange a phytosanitary certificate for participants outside EU.
We offer again also a quick transport of plants with TNT Express, but it is limited only to EU countries. Maximum weight for a parcel will be 30 kilograms, price 25 Eur or 700 Czech Crowns. For most of EU destination, transit time is 2-3 working days.
There will be available so-called dirty room in the hotel Floret, where would be possible to clean roots from the soil.

Payment:
In most of the places in our country you can pay with credit card, however for a purchase in gardens and Prague show, it is necessary to have Czech Crowns in cash.

Weather:
In May is the average temperature in Pruhonice around 14°C but it could be unstable. To be on the safe side we recommend you to take a waterproof jacket.

Entertainment:
One evening we are going to enjoy participant´s music session so if you want and can, take your instrument with you. Our chairman and great musician Zdenek Zvolanek is looking forward to it.

Diet requirements:
Please write to us any diet requirements you have. We´ll hand it over to a chef.


See you in May. We´ll try to prepare everything to you be happy and satisfied participant.

CZRGS committee "

Thanks Maggi!

I'm going on my own but am looking forward to meeting many old friends and no doubt others who currently I only know online from this forum. I am staying at the Pension Coloseum - anyone else booked in there?

Unfortunately Henrik Zetterlund is not able to come for the conference but the organising  committee  are happy to announce that Olga Bondareva will take over his place as speaker. 



Sorry to hear that Henrik Z. is unable to attend - but Olga Bondareva is a very fine replacement.

Something that can be seen and appreciated by those attending the 3rd Czech International Rock Garden Conference in early May -

 From Tromsø Arctic-Alpine Botanical Garden:  "Youngest alpine garden helps to oldest one !
Recent 2 years our garden has participate on reconstruction of historical alpine garden and gardens surrounding Pruhonice castle. Alpine garden is there since 1885.
This is possibly the only alpine garden in UNESCO cultural heritage."

Anyone going to Prague on the 10th May and arriving at approximately 16.30, who would like to share the cost of a taxi with Sue and I to Pruhonice?

Hello everyone!

Now it is soon time for departure to Prague and I'm wondering if anyone wants to share a taxi from the airport? I arrive on Wednesday 10th May at 12:30, but I would like to wait if someone arrives a little later.

Marit :)

Same here, nice to catch up. Aren't we lucky that we are going again.

Chris you will be proud of me . I collected my hepatica seeds like you said and I have lots of little hepaticas babies now. Only one white one though, disappointed about that.
