In the heart of Brno, on the original site where Gregor Johann Mendel conducted his revolutionary experiments with peas two hundred years ago, a historic greenhouse is coming back to life. This unique greenhouse, a symbol of the history of horticulture and the foundations of genetics, was transformed into a modern classroom for future gardeners in 2025. Its reconstruction not only honors the legacy of the prominent scientist, but also brings an innovative approach to teaching horticulture and sustainable plant cultivation.
The renovation of the greenhouse, which was once the site of Mendel’s experiments, represents a combination of tradition and modern educational needs. The building was restored on identical foundations and preserves the original architectural elements, with the supporting structure symbolizing the three laws of genetics. This historic greenhouse now serves as a multifunctional classroom where students learn not only the basics of plant cultivation, but also the techniques of staking, transplanting, grafting and plant protection, which provides them with a solid foundation for a future career in horticulture.
The educational nature of the greenhouse is an important element that connects the knowledge of the botanical garden with current trends in sustainable cultivation. Students learn here how to grow various types of plants with respect for ecology and gentle agricultural practices. Practical teaching also includes the care of plants from historical varieties, thus maintaining a relationship with the tradition and past of the field of horticulture in the Czech Republic.
The restored historic greenhouse functions as a living classroom, where future gardeners gain not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical experience. This space allows for lectures, training and interactive workshops that cover a wide range of topics from plant genetics to vegetation protection to new methods of horticultural production. This approach significantly contributes to the development of experts who will be able to help develop sustainable and innovative agriculture.
The restoration of the Mendel greenhouse also strengthens community ties and highlights the cultural value of the art of gardening. The botanical garden and the historic greenhouse attract visitors every year who can see what plant cultivation looked like two centuries ago. Social events, exhibitions and educational programs held here provide a deeper understanding not only of nature, but also of the importance of sustainable cultivation for the present and the future.
