Allotments in the Czech Republic

Allotments started to appear in the Czech cities at the beginning of the 20th century. In Prague, we can thus still find allotments from the interwar period. Browse through photographs from the still existing Prague allotments, e.g. one of the oldest garden colonies struggling for survival on the Libeň Island as well as younger ones scattered around the capital of the Czech Republic.
