Horse chestnuts in Tábor

In the spring 2021 we strengthened the reduced vitality of 170-year-old horse chestnut trees - the vegetation dominants of Žižkov Square in Tábor.
First, the stabilization of the secondary crowns and the installation of the tree cablings took place.
Then we revitalised the root space by removing of impermeable paving, aerating the compacted root space, adding active humus, hydrogel and, mycorrhizal fungi (air injection). The urine-contaminated substrate was blown off by air spade and replaced with a structural substrate.
The new permeable surface based on lava tree substrate in the root zone was used and the water-retaining swale in the paving was installed.

The path of patience is about humility and patience for what is happening around us... about slow succession. People run through time and on the way between office and home they meet the path of patience. It is different every day and no one knows how it will look like in one or ten years. We can patiently observe plants and animals in an untouched place. The succession can be beautiful if we accept it.
We show various soil surfaces. Over a peeled-off strip of the existing vegetation, we sprinkle various materials commonly found around us: topsoil from several deposits, hay, manure, sand, wood chips, stones, clay, loose soil, rolled soil… We leave these surfaces untouched. Certainly, something will grow on them in time. If we are patient.
