Photogallery of allotments (and more)
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.
Allotments are not to be found only in the Czech Republic (or Slovakia). Urban gardening and allotment gardens represent a European phenomenon with allotments in the cities all over Europe including northern countries. Browse through selected photographs of some of the allotments – from Slovakia, Germany, Poland, but also Sweden and Finland.
