俱乐部概况
捷克布拉格岩石园俱乐部（Klub skalničkářů Praha, z. s., 简称 KSP）1970 年 3 月 3 日在布拉格斯拉夫岛上的会议厅宣告成立，是捷克共和国规模最大的岩石园爱好者学术团体，会员约六百人，其中约十分之一为外国会员。俱乐部以非营利志愿社团形式根据捷克第 304/2013 号法令注册，办公与图书馆设于布拉格市中心的诺沃特内霍 lavčce（Novotného lávka）附近用房。
历史沿革
俱乐部前身是 1960 年代末从捷克斯洛伐克园艺联合会（ČOZS）四个基层组织中分离出来的几个岩生植物爱好者小组，他们常在 Vinohrady 区的 Valdek 咖啡馆聚会讨论成立专门团体的构想。1969 年通过外交努力获得 ČOZS 中央委员会正式同意后，独立组织 Klub skalničkářů Praha 作为 ČOZS 旗下专业化分支机构正式获批筹建，1970 年 3 月 3 日召开成立大会，首届委员会由 18 名成员组成。1971 年初会员即达 378 人，1976 年增至 845 人，历史峰值约 1400 人。1990 年俱乐部从 ČOZS 体系脱离，转型为完全独立的志愿社团。2023 年 5 月，工程师 Vojtěch Holubec 再次出任主席。
主要活动
俱乐部最广为人知的对外项目是每年三次在布拉格查理广场（Karlovo náměstí）举办的岩石园展览，展区位于浮士德宫（Faustův dům）与圣扬纳·斯卡莱教堂（kostel sv. Jana Na Skalce）之间的两座花园，由会员以志愿劳动形式全年维护，展品由会员提供并由大众与专业评审共同评选。俱乐部定期邀请捷克与国外专家举办公开讲座，每年组织会员前往波希米亚、摩拉维亚和西里西亚各地以及国外的植物考察旅行，并在 Želivi 村举办一年一度的”岩石园爱好者周末”聚会，与捷克、斯洛伐克其他岩石园俱乐部保持年度互访交流。
出版与文献
《Skalničky》是俱乐部的代表性季刊，自 1971 年创刊以来从未中断，发行范围覆盖全球会员，期刊附带英文内容简介供海外读者参阅。俱乐部另设《Zpravodaj》会讯及不定期的专业会员特刊，包括植物学家 Josef Halda 主笔的 PRIMULACEAE 等专题作品，会员可使用俱乐部维护的专业图书馆。近年俱乐部出版了《LOMIKAMENY II, České kultivary 1985–2022》，专门整理 1985 至 2022 年间捷克培育的虎耳草属栽培品种，是研究中东欧岩生植物选育史的重要参考。
种子交换
每年冬季俱乐部组织会员间种子交换，海外会员同样可以参与，备选种子类型通常超过一千五百种，覆盖岩生植物、林缘植物、球根植物以及矮型木本等类群，申请成为种子捐赠者需填写俱乐部提供的登记表格，种子目录通常在每年下半年公布，会员通过订购表完成索取。种子交换是俱乐部历史最悠久的会员服务之一，也是捷克岩生植物爱好者与国际同行交流的主要渠道，俱乐部成员中常年保持约十分之一的海外比例。
Club Overview
The Rock Gardeners Club Prague (Klub skalničkářů Praha, z. s., abbreviated KSP) was formally founded on 3 March 1970 in Prague and is the largest rock garden club in the Czech Republic, with roughly 600 members, about one-tenth of whom live abroad. The club is registered as a voluntary association under Act No. 304/2013 Coll. and maintains its meeting rooms and library space near Novotného lávka in central Prague.
History
The club traces its origins to the late 1960s, when small groups of rock-plant enthusiasts separated from four local branches of the Czechoslovak Union of Fruit Growers and Gardeners (ČOZS) and began meeting at the Valdek café in Prague’s Vinohrady district to discuss forming a specialist organisation. After diplomatic negotiations with ČOZS headquarters in 1969, the new group received formal approval to establish Klub skalničkářů Praha as a specialist branch within ČOZS. The founding meeting was held on 3 March 1970 on Slovanský Island, and the first eighteen-member committee was elected on the same day. Membership grew from 378 in early 1971 to 845 by 1976 and reached a historical peak of around 1,400. In 1990 the club formally separated from ČOZS and became an independent voluntary association. Engineer Vojtěch Holubec returned to the chairmanship in May 2023.
Main Activities
The club’s most visible public activity is its three-times-yearly exhibitions on Charles Square (Karlovo náměstí) in Prague, held in the two gardens between the Faust House and the Church of St. Jana Na Skalce. Members maintain the area year-round and lend the exhibited plants, which are assessed by both amateur visitors and a specialist jury. KSP regularly invites Czech and foreign experts to lecture on rock gardening, organises domestic and international botanical tours across Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, and hosts the annual Rock Gardeners Weekend gathering in the village of Želivi. The club also participates in the yearly meeting of Czech and Slovak rock garden societies.
Publications and Library
Skalničky, the club’s quarterly journal, has been published continuously since 1971 and is mailed to members worldwide. The journal includes a brief English content summary for foreign readers and is accompanied by the club Newsletter. The club additionally publishes occasional specialist premiums such as the PRIMULACEAE monograph by botanist Josef Halda, and maintains a well-equipped specialist library for members. Among recent releases, the club has issued “Lomikameny II, České kultivary 1985–2022”, a reference documenting Czech-bred saxifrage cultivars registered between 1985 and 2022.
Seed Exchange
Every winter the club organises a seed exchange among its members, including foreign participants. The annual selection typically offers more than 1,500 types of seeds, spanning rock garden plants, woodland species, bulbs and dwarf trees. Donors register through a dedicated form on the club website, and the seed list is published in the second half of each year. The seed exchange is one of the club’s oldest member services and the main channel through which Czech rock gardeners stay in touch with fellow enthusiasts in neighbouring countries and further afield, mirroring the roughly one-tenth share of foreign members in the club.
