Abstract
The current form of the more than 300-year-old park was created by the siblings Karel and Sidonie Nádherní, in collaboration with the architect Camillo Schneider and Count Herbert Schaffgotsch. The article traces the period from Camillo Schneider‘s first visit in 1922 to the forced departure of Sidonie Nádherná into exile in 1949. It is based on the gardening diary of S. Nádherná, which lists 48 sites from all over Europe, from where seedlings, seeds and bulbs came between 1922 and 1929. The text briefly characterizes some of them and connects the plantings of that time with the current locations in the park. It is supplemented by an inventory of gifts from Count Schaffgotsch‘s garden from 1929–1933, and using additional sources, the text presents the Janovice castle park at the end of the 1930s, at the time of its greatest prosperity (including an inventory of herbs and trees, and a comparison with the current situation). Using memoir narratives, it looks back at the war and the years immediately after.
