British style naturalist garden

Quarter of the garden create in place of the former orchard. Trees grow there in loose groups or in individual solitaires. Oaks here have a special place because Greater Poland has the largest in Europe gathering of old oaks in the Warta valley. The rest are plane trees, lime trees, sycamores, beeches and pine trees ­ the so­called kurzels: a individually growing specimen. North wall consists of a belt of trees made out of maple trees, hornbeams, sycamores, elm trees and honey locust. A variety of homeland species can be admired from the west ­ birch, beeches, sycamore or northern red oak; as well as foreign species including a group of Acer Rubrum maple trees, leaves of which redden presenting the true purple of the Canadian forests during autumn. There is also a fairly large group of California firs and a big bush of Salix udensis willow. On the other side of the alley dividing the park in half there are a couple of various botanical forms of California fir ­ a tree of magnificent beauty. With regard for Władysław Sękowski his favourite great sallow has been planted here. A couple of big clumps of park perennials and colourful trees of the field maples diversify the wall of trees. Grass area between the trees has been planted with seeds of traditional Polish meadow plants; it is a dry and xerothermic sward. The seeds were shared by Dr. Łukasz Łuczaj, famous propagator of natural gardens. Closer to the guesthouse there is a gazebo and a fireplace underneath it surrounded with semicircular benches. There is also a second ring of the fireplace, underneath the sky. Both of them are encompassed with 70­year­old fireclay profiles that come from Cracov, from an old iron foundry where they used to fill the insides of the forges. Opposite from the fireplaces, on the axis of the gazebo, among a birch grove stands a likeness of Światowid ­ Slavic deity ­ based on a stone original fished out of Zbrucz and carved in oak by a Cracovian artist Jan Siwek. The story of this likeness is fascinating because it is the only complete likeness of a Slavic deity that has survived well into our times. Plants blooming in this part of the park are humbly represented by two rows of grape hyacinths and hyacinths along the path as well as an irregular field of squills, snowdrops and ramsons. Apart from that only wild field and meadow flowers bloom here.
