ABOUT THE EUROPEAN ROUTE OF HISTORIC GARDENS
Our vision
We see and understand the transboundary value of the historic gardens’ heritage that has reflected the identity of the European countries and regions along the centuries, as well as has shown their unity in the common creation of a better life and landscape. This important heritage has the potential to contribute to the sustainable development of the territories where historic gardens are located.
