Booking for the  THIRD CZECH INTERNATIONAL ROCK GARDEN CONFERENCE  is going well and filling up fast….. book soon if you’d like to attend

 Registration  is still open,  see  http://czrgs.cz/conference-registration2.html

The Event is planned for 10 – 15th May 2017 at the Congress and Educational Centre Hotel Průhonice,   only 15 kilometres from the centre of Prague in the vicinity of the castle and two state parks of Průhonice  which is 24 kilometres from Prague Ruzyne Airport and just a hop from the highway D1 Prague-Brno.
