"The Kraffer Garden complex is a place with a story reaching back to the 18th century. Originally a Baroque palace garden, it was later separated from the palace after a major fire and sold. For more than a hundred years, the renowned Kraffer family horticultural nursery operated here, until nationalisation in the 1950s brought insensitive alterations. The nursery and its buildings gradually declined into a brownfield, partly cleared at the turn of the millennium."
"A full-scale renewal began in 2021, when the abandoned nursery was taken over by a group of landscape architects from Atelier Za Mak. Their energy has given the garden a new life, transforming it into a community space in the heart of Jindrichuv Hradec. On the foundations of the Baroque garden and the First Republicera nursery, a brownfield is being transformed into a place where horticultural craft meets culture and human stories."
