俱乐部概况与法定地位
布拉格岩石园俱乐部（捷克语 Klub skalničkářů Praha，缩写 KSP，英文名 Rock Gardeners Club Prague）是捷克历史最悠久的岩石园爱好者专业俱乐部，1970 年 3 月 3 日在布拉格斯拉维亚岛举行成立大会。俱乐部由 Zdeněk Moravec 博士等 18 位创始委员发起，初衷是把分散在各地、专攻高山植物与岩生栽培的爱好者聚集起来。1990 年起俱乐部作为独立法人实体按捷克 304/2013 Sb 法案注册为志愿者协会（z.s.），目前拥有近 400 名正式会员，其中约十分之一来自捷克境外，会员规模在捷克同类岩石园俱乐部中保持领先。
会员构成与展览活动
俱乐部每年组织三次面向公众的展览：早春展、5 月大展和秋季展，地点固定在布拉格市中心卡尔洛娃广场（Karlovo náměstí）北端两座紧邻 Faustův dům 与圣约翰·纳·斯卡尔采教堂（kostel sv. Jana Na Skalce）之间的花园内。展品由会员无偿借出，分业余组与专家评审组两套评价体系。5 月大展的展陈设计与现场布置完全由会员在义务劳动日（brigáda）期间搭建完成，2024 年起筹备阶段累计投入超过 800 小时志愿者工时。日常园区维护、池塘水道翻修、植物补植也由会员轮班负责，长期保持花园活力。
出版物与种子交换
俱乐部出版的季刊《Skalničky》创刊于 1970 年，紧随俱乐部成立面世，由首任主席 Zdeněk Moravec 主持编辑工作，至今仍维持每年四期的出版节奏，发送至全球会员与图书馆。季刊之外，俱乐部还以会员专享专著（členské prémie）的形式不定期出版专业著作，已发行的代表性专著包括《PRIMULACEAE》（报春花科）、《BOTANICKÝ SLOVNÍK》（植物学词典）、《LOMIKAMENY SEKCE POROPHYLLUM》（虎耳草节 Porophyllum）以及《新西兰的岩生植物》等。年度种子交换（Výměna semen）是另一项传统活动，每年向会员提供超过 1500 个采集编号的高山植物种子，由国外会员协助引入新的物种来源。
卡尔洛娃广场的两座花园
俱乐部租用的两座花园位于卡尔洛娃广场历史核心区。靠教堂一侧的教区花园由俱乐部自 1980 年起接手改造，地块原是废弃多年、曾被少先队使用过的巴洛克砂岩花园，会员逐步清除了杂物、修复了砂岩雕塑与小径，并按捷克传统的石缝岩生园（spárová skalka）技艺搭建岩生群落——这种以天然石块垒砌裂隙、再植入高山植物的手法，被源站称为捷克学派对世界岩生栽培的独特贡献。Faustův dům 旁的花园则在 1990 年代由建筑师 Josef Holzbecher 设计成下沉式砂岩露天剧场（amfiteátr），目前仍在进行最后一期修缮。两座花园不仅是展览场地，也是布拉格市内免费向公众开放的高山植物活体展示。
讲座、考察与组织协作
俱乐部每月在布拉格市中心 Novotného lávka 5 号的 Dům ČSVTS 厅举办面向会员与公众的专题讲座，讲者包括本地及受邀的欧洲高山植物学者，门票 50 克朗/人。每年秋季在波西米亚、摩拉维亚或西里西亚不同地点召开两至三天的周末聚会（Skalničkářský víkend），安排密集讲座、会员交流与野外考察。俱乐部同时是捷克和斯洛伐克岩石园俱乐部联席年会（setkání českých a slovenských skalničkářskýchklubů）的参与方，与英国 Alpine Garden Society、苏格兰 Scottish Rock Garden Club、北美 NorthAmerican Rock Garden Society 等同类组织保持长期的物种、种子与出版物层面的交流。
Club Profile and Legal Status
The Rock Gardeners Club Prague (Klub skalničkářů Praha, KSP) is the oldest specialist society for rock-garden enthusiasts in the Czech Republic. Its founding assembly was held on 3 March 1970 on Slovanský ostrov in Prague, with Dr Zdeněk Moravec elected as the first chairman and an eighteen-member initial committee. From 1990 the club has been registered as an independent voluntary association (z.s.) under Czech Act No. 304/2013 Coll. Membership currently stands at nearly 400, roughly one tenth of whom live outside the Czech Republic, which keeps KSP as the largest rock-garden club in the country.
Members and Public Exhibitions
KSP runs three open-air exhibitions every year, all staged in two adjoining gardens on the northern end of Charles Square (Karlovo náměstí) in central Prague: an early-spring show, the flagship May exhibition (VELKÁ MÁJOVÁ VÝSTAVA) and an autumn display. Plants are lent by members and judged both by visitors and by a specialist jury. The May show regularly attracts around thirty thousand visitors and its setup, including pond refurbishment and replanting, is carried out entirely by members during voluntary work days, with more than 800 volunteer hours recorded in the most recent preparation cycle alone.
Publications and Seed Exchange
The quarterly magazine Skalničky first appeared in 1970, immediately after the club was founded, and is still mailed worldwide to members and partner libraries four times a year. Alongside the magazine KSP issues occasional membership premiums (členské prémie): notable titles include PRIMULACEAE, the botanical dictionary BOTANICKÝ SLOVNÍK, the monograph LOMIKAMENY SEKCE POROPHYLLUM on saxifrages, and a volume on rock-garden plants of New Zealand. The annual seed exchange (Výměna semen) is run with help from foreign members and offers more than fifteen hundred accession numbers of high-altitude plant seed each season.
Two Gardens on Charles Square
The two gardens KSP rents on Charles Square are at the heart of the club’s public presence. The parish garden beside the Baroque Church of St John on the Rock (kostel sv. Jana Na Skalce) has been in the club’s care since 1980, when members restored sandstone sculptures, rebuilt paths and laid out a crevice-style rock garden (spárová skalka) in the distinctive Czech tradition. The neighbouring garden next to the Faust House was redesigned by architect Josef Holzbecher in the 1990s as a sandstone amphitheatre (amfiteátr); the final phase of its reconstruction is still in progress. Both gardens remain free to the public throughout the year.
Lectures, Field Trips and Sister-Club Cooperation
Monthly lectures are held at Dům ČSVTS on Novotného lávka 5 in central Prague, open to members and to visitors for a small admission fee. Each autumn the club organises a two- or three-day weekend gathering (Skalničkářský víkend) at a different venue in Bohemia, Moravia or Silesia, combining a dense programme of talks with field excursions and informal plant exchange. KSP also takes part in the annual meeting of Czech and Slovak rock-garden clubs and maintains long-standing contact with the Alpine Garden Society, the Scottish Rock Garden Club and the North American Rock Garden Society.
