Toulcův Dvůr

What Toulcův Dvůr does

Toulcův Dvůr is a non-profit ecological education center (Středisko ekologické výchovy Toulcův dvůr, z.s.) located in Prague-Hostivař, Czech Republic, operating a 10-hectare natural area comprising orchards, fields, meadows, floodplain forest, wetland, and educational gardens integrated with heritage-protected buildings. The facility is owned by the City of Prague and operated by four co-located non-profit organizations: Botič o.p.s. (ecological education programs), ENVIRA o.p.s. (social enterprise with organic gardening and healthy canteen), Sdružení SRAZ z.s. (recreation, horse programs, eco-certified accommodation), and Mateřská škola Semínko o.p.s. (ecological kindergarten).

The center delivers a diversified portfolio of services: hands-on environmental education programs for schools, family activities and summer camps, an ecological kindergarten, a healthy canteen serving on-site-grown produce, eco-certified hostel accommodation (one of only 3 such facilities in the Czech Republic), venue rentals (halls, lecture rooms, clubrooms), hippotherapy, hobby clubs, and seasonal public events. Operational infrastructure includes permaculture herb spirals, rainwater collection systems, composting facilities, and a working farm with domestic animals. Recent investments include a 1,055 m² educational gardens renovation completed in 2020 and ongoing partnerships with corporate volunteer programs and government ministries.

Revenue is generated through a mix of facility rentals (1,500-11,600 CZK per day depending on space and event type), program fees, kindergarten tuition, accommodation bookings, canteen sales, social enterprise produce sales (three times weekly at seasonal stalls), and grants/subsidies from the City of Prague, State Environmental Fund, and corporate foundations. The go-to-market model is event-driven and locally focused, with marketing conducted primarily through the official website toulcuvdvur.cz, the Kudy z nudy Prague tourism platform, and word-of-mouth. Customer segments span schools, families, corporate groups, and individual visitors, with no significant concentration in any single customer type.
