He is an expert in rock, crevice and tufa gardening and in the cultivation of alpines, cushion plants, dionysias, small daphnes and dwarf conifers. His passion for plants is evident in his garden which is situated at 200m elevation, 10 km from Prague, Cech Republic where he has expertly created habitats for the plants that he loves in crevice gardens, troughs, a tufa tunnel with tufa wall, and on peat blocks.
