A small field guide
The flowers and weeds growing za plotem — right behind your fence.
Walk out your door anywhere in Czechia and the same familiar cast of plants greets you: daisies in the lawn, dandelions in the cracks, nettles by the fence. This guide helps you put a name to what you're already looking at.

Why bother learning them?
01
They're everywhere
The same dozen species show up in almost every Czech yard, town or village, so learning them once pays off everywhere.
02
Not all are enemies
Several so-called weeds feed pollinators, fix nitrogen or even end up in the kitchen — it helps to know which is which.
03
Free nature walks
Once you can name what's growing by the pavement, an ordinary walk turns into a small scavenger hunt.
