I heard of Peter Korn’s sand gardening a long time ago at one of the Czech Perennial Plant Association afterparties in the Botanical Garden in Prague. My friend Martin Hajman, then the head gardener of the Pruhonice Alpinum (now head gardener in Tromsø Botanical Garden), was talking enthusiastically about the sand gardening approach. I forgot Peter Korn’s name immediately, but the sand garden topic stuck in my head.
