Botanist Johan Eichfeld remembers his childhood in Paide
Bioloog Johan Eichfeld meenutab lapsepõlve Paides
Johan Eichfeld, born in 1893, grew up in Paide, and it was there, he says, that his interest in gardening first took root. He tells Lembit Lauri about the small Järvamaa town of his boyhood, about the First World War and the revolution, and about his studies in Petrograd. His first job took him to the Kola peninsula in the far north, where he worked on growing crops near the Arctic, the start of a long career as a plant scientist.

Eesti keeles
1893. aastal sündinud Johan Eichfeld kasvas üles Paides ja just seal tärkas tema sõnul huvi aianduse vastu. Ta räägib Lembit Laurile oma poisipõlve väikesest Järvamaa linnast, Esimesest maailmasõjast ja revolutsiooniajast ning õpingutest Petrogradis. Esimene töökoht viis ta kaugele põhja Koola poolsaarele, kus ta tegeles taimekasvatusega polaaralal – sellest algas tema pikk teadlaseteekond.
