Abstract
The lecture will highlight some of the aspects of Bulgarian immigration to Central Europe in the end of the 19th and early 20th century, paying particular attention to the intertwining between economic and social factors on population mobility, on the one side, and - on the other, on factors related to cultural integration and interaction with host society. The presentation will emphasize the specific meanings of gardening as based on the mechanisms of economic survival, production and reproduction, and on the transfer of cultural practices, knowledge and traditions, enabling the access and interaction with host society in the context of rising modernity patterns.
