The park south-east of Prague was shaped over four decades by Count Arnošt Emanuel Silva-Tarouca. Today it functions simultaneously as a public park, a dendrological garden and an active research site.
The Liberec Botanical Garden draws visitors from across northern Bohemia with its combination of open-air beds and fully climate-controlled glasshouse wings holding cacti, orchids and palms.
Each season changes what you find in Czech gardens. Spring rhododendron bloom at Průhonice, summer tropical displays in Liberec, and autumn colour in the dendrological collections all warrant separate visits.
