Nohejlová, Kristýna ; Česká, Jana (advisor) ; Martin, Martin (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is an inventory of all plant kinds in a historical green house Konopiste. It is known that there are over 200 different kinds of plants currently growing in that place. The exact number cannot be listed and stated, because it is still moving and varies. There are some plants that are still growing at one place in a soil for many years. One of the examples is Phoenix canariensis, which dominates the whole green house. The majority of plants are grown there in planters. That enables their easy manipulation within the whole green house. The inventory of all kinds of plants took place between March 2015 and February 2016. Each plant has been noted down according to its station.
The first chapter deals not only with the history of the castle itself, but is also described together with the history of the green house and its surrounding areas. Unfortunately there has been only a limited amount of resources available to study for me and to use. Therefore my description does not go into deep details. In this chapter, I therefore describe some technical achievements and economical parameter and measures. They show how the green house has been heated in those days and describe the details of pluming. There is also a short description of a mechanism which opened the windows in order to cause air flow circulation.
The main was Encyclopedia of garden plants by Christopher Brickell. The Latin names of individual kinds were flowingly sorted using the websites ipni.org.
The fifth chapter is dedicated to the inventory. Each green house section has its own general description, from which, there has been lately chosen a sample of the most interesting plants. Their characteristics were then described, using those specialized books. The final inventory of green houses is than shown in additional tables.
The sixth chapter includes and deals with recommendations of the writer. The writer suggested a better marking, using a good quality materials and labels. (Steel and enamel) Another suggestion, which the writer made, was to follow the inventory stock take, but some of the plants should be repositioned. The ones, that were not in blossom, or were not grown up enough, in order to mark their characteristics. In an attachment there are the photographs of the castle, together with the Rose garden and its green house. Other photographs show some interesting, or rare plants. They may have unusual shape, or a beautiful loom.
