Krzysztof Kozicki / COLUMBARY OF MR. KOZICKI

Mr. Kozicki breeds pigeons, just like his father and grandfather used to. You could say that he
grew up with pigeons. Currently, he has thirty birds, including unique species, almost non-
existent in Poland. He presents them at international exhibitions. Some people look at them
and think they are parrots. Besides pigeons, he is a man of many passions: he is also interested
in old cars and dinosaurs, he knows where and when to go to see a deer rut, a skittish raccoon
and even ... a mouflon.

 

Jola Chromińska / MY ROSARIUM

The garden with eighty-six blooming roses (the result of my fascination with the Szczecin’s
“Różanka” [Rosarium]), but also (depending on the season) with hundreds of tulips,
hyacinths, narcissuses, and a lot of beautiful, fine bushes and trees. My own gazebo, a swing,
a spruce planted years ago, which turned from a tiny sapling into a mighty tree. My own place
on earth. The place where I can talk with flowers.

 

Beata Bauer / GARLANDS, GRINDERS ON THE PORCH

Mrs. Bauer will show how to weave garlands of grass, cones, flowers (she knows what herbs
at what time can be collected, how to dry them properly, so that they do not lose their
uniqueness). She will also show how to transform a little glass jar into a sophisticated vase,
and how to turn an old case into a beautiful decorative box for storing valuables and secrets.
She will also tell about her fondness for old grinders, tin pots and all objects that have a soul.

Wiesław Walczak / THE HEALER OF CLOCKS

It started with one clock which was supposed to be thrown away… “What a waste!” Mr.
Walczak thought, and decided that he could try to repair it; to heal it in fact. Now he is the
Healer of Clocks, spending every free moment on his porch turned to workshop. And the
walls are full of ticking life.

century cemetery, overgrown with wild bushes and located along the main street of Stolec,

“treasure detector” works.

 

Stanisława Kowalczyk / THE HUNGRY GAP IN A PANTRY

Despite the fact that the season for preserves is almost finished and now is the time of
preparing new ones, the pantry of Mrs. Kowalczyk is still full of colorful jars with delicacies.
Perfectly measured proportions of vegetables, fruits, spices and pickles, softness and
crunchiness, sweetness, spicyness, saltness and sourness with a slight tone of bitterness – all
prepared with the expert knowledge and the big heart. Chokeberry, squash, blueberry, beets,
pumpkin in honey, royal pickles, letcho – these are just some of the proposals. Recipes for
those interested! And some poetry too.

 

Jan Kowalczyk / IMAGE-PRESERVING DEVICES

Forty-, fifty-, and even one-hundred-years old cameras. Polish and Soviet, amateur and
professional, even spy equipment, including flashlights, light meters and other accessories –
Mr. Kowalczyk has all of them in his impressive collection. For many years he is a passionate
collector of old image-preserving devices.

 

Lucja Staszak / THE PIKE LADY

Mrs. Staszak (mind her first uncommon name “Lucja”, usually misproniunced as “Łucja” or
“Lucyna”) is a legend not only among local anglers. Wherever she comes, she always catches
the largest fish. That’s how she has earned her nickname “The Pike Lady”, uttered with the
utmost respect.

 

Jan Staszak / DANCING IN THE GARDEN

Mr. Staszak has always been a great enthusiast of local dancing parties – and he perfectly
remembers how people used to enjoy them! Now it is a great pleasure for him to dance in his
own garden, tasting without hurry what he has grown with his own hand. He will lead the
dancing procession of his guests between potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, zucchini,
bushes of currants, chokeberries and raspberries – entertaining them with his story.
