Thematic Gardens as a Presentation of the Results of Research and Artistic Activities

Original language description

The best way to teach landscape architects how to design plants and gardens is to have lessons directly in a place which has a high artistic value and which can very well present innovative approaches to the creation and maintenance of vegetation. Czech landscape architects are taught in the Lednice-Valtice Area (UNESCO site), which is a unique cultural landscape, maintained and created by the Liechtenstein family for over 300 years. Therefore, the Faculty of Horticulture of the Mendel University in Brno has chosen Lednice as its headquarters. Thematic gardens in Lednice form a new functional and artistic whole within this historically shaped and composed landscape and thus continue the tradition of garden art and landscape architecture, which have shaped the garden here for centuries as a phenomenon of the quality of human life in the context of European education, humanist tradition and culture. Out of the 33 proposed topics/ thematic gardens, 11 were implemented in 2015, together creating a comprehensive and clearly readable image of contemporary creative possibilities. They are not only an extensive collection of garden plants, but also a good example of their combinations and relations emerging from their artistic and ecological grouping. Earlier, a representative academic garden was created; it has become a very successful project and triggered the development of the entire university campus. Additionally, it has substantially raised the society's cultural awareness of the contemporary landscape architecture. The paper comprehensively introduces the entire university project, whose scope, educational potential and innovative approach has no parallel in Central Europe.
