The European Route of Historic Gardens, represented by our President, Jaume Dulsat,  was invited to present the project of the European Route of Historic Gardens, and explain how these initiatives are aligned with new tourism trends and contribute to the preservation and dissemination of the value of these historic gardens, European heritage.
The President of the ERHG has given the lecture “The European Route of Historic Gardens and its Ornamental Kitchen Gardens” emphasizing the role of Historic Gardens to preserve and promote our cultural heritage and providing a multi dimensional experience to tourists. He has highligted the role of those gardens which are also kitchen and ornamental gardens as providers of productive economy and botanical experimentation, proximity orchards that supply vegetables, fruits, medicinal herbs, honey, wine, dye plants and as conveyors of scientific knowledge related to agriculture. Ornamental and kitchen atract new audiences, encourage new forms of learning, especially for children, provide play and socialization, reduce socio-educational discomfort and are spaces for therapeutic qualities, he has concluded.
Until last April 23, landscapers, architects, gardening experts, scientists and professionals from the academic field, as well as political leaders at an international level, discussed and debated on issues of research, planning, restoration, maintenance, management and attention to visitors of European gardens.
The ERHG President stated that “it is important to share experiences, exchange ideas and cooperate both at a European and global level”. Mr. Dulsat also participated at the press call and workshop café organized after the lectures on April 21st.

The 1st International Congress of Historic Botanical Gardens will be held in Lisbon on 11th – 12th of October 2021. Over recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the care and value of historic botanical gardens. Such gardens have made a major contribution to our understanding of the origin and development of botanical science and related disciplines. They have also influenced many of the crops we grow, the food we eat and the trees, shrubs and herbs that adorn our streets, parks, and gardens.
However, unless prompt action is taken, many of these unique resources risk falling into neglect, decay or in some cases total loss. This is already happening in many places, and it is timely to celebrate and protect the treasures held in these historic botanic gardens. Due to COVID 19 pandemic, call for abstracts was extended until September 4th.

National Scientific Conference University of Cracow

The ERHG patronizes the XXVII National Scientific conference on the art of gardening and historical dendrology, organized by the technical University of Cracow

The 1981-2021 convention ‘Historic Gardens. Experiences, research, perspectives 40 years after the Florence Charter’ aims to rethink the two Charters for the restoration of historic gardens (Icomos-IFLA and Italian) drawn up in Florence in 1981 in light of the profound changes that have affected the environment, the landscape, society in the transition to the new millennium and the results of an international activity in the restoration of gardens, which has been refined on the basis of the criteria dictated by the Charters.
The attention will be placed, in particular, on professional figures and schools, on the impact on conservation and on the approach to the restoration of increasingly binding problems in contemporary society, such as climate, sustainability, ecology, new technologies; and on the need to update the maps, taking up the challenges of complexity.

Participate in the "Historic Gardens. Experiences, research, perspectives 40 years after the Florence Charter’ convention"

In early September, a specialist seminar was held. It was attended by Italian and Polish conservators of botanical legacy and historic gardens. The event featured a presentation of both countries’ achievements in the field of conservation of historic gardens and citrus plant collections. The event is held under the patronage of the European Route of Historical Gardens.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D_Uwt1zempU" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The strengthening of diplomatic contacts between the courts of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo III Medici and King Jan III after the victorious battle of Vienna resulted in sending eight crates of plants to Wilanów in 1684. Among the plant varieties mentioned by the historical sources was citrus lumia, dubbed “Adam’s apple” (‘Pomum Adami’), gifted at the time as a token of friendship. The sensitive goods were sent on a long 1600-kilometre road from Florence to Warsaw. The extraordinary history of plants from almost 340 years ago became a starting point for the cooperation concerning the historical citrus collections between the Boboli Gardens, managed by the Uffizi Gallery and the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace in Wilanów. This was made possible thanks to the membership of both gardens in the European Route of Historic Gardens.
The Boboli Gardens can boast a remarkable citrus collection, which is believed to be one of the most important in Europe, encompassing more than 500 pots with citrus trees, including around 90 various varieties, including 20 historical varieties from the Medici era. To this day, the plants are grown in line with traditional Tuscan cultivation methods and gardening ways.

The specialists of the Boboli Gardens will support the Wilanów Museum staff with their expert knowledge, aiding the Polish museum with an extremely difficult undertaking – reconstruction of the collection of historical citrus varieties. The process of its reconstruction began in 2016, when 38 specimens of orange trees in characteristic oak pots painted in white and green stripes appeared in the Baroque garden, The Wilanów collection currently comprises more than 100 citrus trees, encompassing 7 varieties, and is a rare collection of orangery trees in Poland.
<h1>The Citri et Aurea project</h1>
During the first stage of the “Citri et Aurea” project, which was carried out in 2019, three employees of the Wilanów Museum came to Florence for a study visit to learn about traditional cultivation methods and Tuscan gardening. The visit was an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience in the field of conservation of historical gardens and citrus tree collections.
This year, during the Polish-Italian online garden seminar, held in early September, achievements of the institutions from both countries in the field of conservation of historic gardens and citrus plant collections were presented. The event was attended by distinguished experts and practitioners working for historic mansions. The Uffizi Gallery in Florence was represented by Dr Bianca Maria Landi, coordinator of Boboli Gardens and botanic legacy conservator, as well as Architect Paola Ruggieri, architectonic legacy conservator, who gave a lecture on conservation, protection and restoration of Boboli Gardens. The 470-year-old traditions of the historic citrus plant collection located there, from the viewpoint of plants and architecture, was discussed by Gianni Simonti, a gardener in Boboli Gardens. Jacek Kuśmierski, specialist for historic gardens at the King Jan III Palace Museum in Wilanów, elaborated on the past and the future of citrus plant collection in Wilanów, while Łukasz Przybylak, head of the gardens, presented the history and further prospects for restoration of the orangery garden in Wilanów. The Museum in Nieborów and Arkadia was represented by Agnieszka Chmielewska, from the Greenery Department, who gave a lecture on the facts and the myths concerning the museum’s citrus plant collection. The seminar was concluded by a presentation by Beata Kańska, head of the Łazienki Królewskie Museum gardens in Warsaw, who discussed the 250-year-old history of orangeries and citrus plants history to be seen in Łazienki.
Citri et Aurea garden seminar organized by King Jan III Palace Museum in Wilanów and Uffizi Gallery in Florence is a unique example of cooperation between Poland and Italy in the area of garden art. Prof. Dorota Folga-Januszewska, deputy director of King Jan III Palace Museum in Wilanów, reminds that Florence and Rome are probably most often mentioned in Polish literature as ideal cities, which people visited to witness beauty, educate themselves, for entertainment purposes, but also to find nature’s fruit and visions of gardens. Since the 16th century, thousands of sheets have been filled with notes on journeys to Italy, yielding architecture, painting, sculpture, but above all the art of gardens. Wilanów – a palace and a museum, and the gardens that surround it, are a perfect example of this tradition. Our Museum, where the culinary tradition is approached in the same research-oriented and scientific way as history of any other arts – is definitely a place where experiencing the Ciri et Aurea project complies ideally with the history of senses, sensations and feelings.
Eike Schmidt, director of Uffizi Gallery, said: The Citri at Aurea project makes me proud, as it makes it possible to think about the prospects of fruitful cooperation between Poland and Italy, which has lasted for generations and which was initiated in the Baroque period by Cosimo III de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany.
Thanks to the partnership between the Boboli Gardens King Jan III Palace Museum in Wilanów, this centuries-long exchange of experiences and well-proven solutions – focused on gardening in general, and especially on the collection of citrus trees and their nurturing – could be successfully resumed.
What makes me even more satisfied is the fact that nowadays, despite a difficult moment in the history of us all, caused by the pandemic which has radically changed our lives, we can use digital technology to participate in the event and share the experiences gained by our Botany Department.
I send my regards to all our friends in Poland, on my own behalf and on behalf of the Uffizi Gallery, wishing our community, currently functioning only in virtual space, to be able to come back to traditional form of meetings in the near future.
The video recordings of the lectures are available on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Uwt1zempU" target="_blank">YouTube channels of King Jan III Palace Museum in Wilanów</a> and of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=depawZJ_rus" target="_blank">Uffizi Gallery in Florence</a>.
Project co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland within the framework of the “Inspiring Culture” Programme. The Uffizi Gallery in Florence is a strategic partner. The initiative is supported by: Polish Cultural Institute in Rome, Polish Academy of Sciences Scientific Center in Rome, Italian Cultural Institute in Warsaw, European Route of Historic Gardens and Polish Tourism Organisation. The seminar is held under media patronage of the Gazzetta Italia magazine.

Conservation of historic gardens and citrus collections: Conclusions of the gardening seminar ‘Citri et Aurea’

The four parts of the event are dictated by the seasons, which finally combine into a coherent whole, creating a determinant of the idea and synergy between art and garden.
Wonderful specialists in the field of garden art will introduce us to issues inspired by wonderful historical gardens. Thematic flower arrangements made by the fantastic Duet of Kwiaty &amp; Miut will make garden considerations more pleasant, showing that trends in the history of garden art can also be presented in a non-obvious way, in harmony with nature and with triggering experiences that cannot be resisted surrounded by flowers.
The irreplaceable Robert Makłowicz will present issues related to the history of cooking, table culture and recipes inspired by plants and seasons in gardens.
<h3>PROGRAM</h3>
<h3>PART I – AUTUMN GARDEN COLORS</h3>
The series of webinars will start with a story about tulips, whose bulbs are planted in autumn to enjoy their unusual flowers in spring. We will check whether tulipomania was a more magical phenomenon or maybe a madness, which in some regions of Europe indirectly continues to this day as an irreplaceable love for bulbs and flower fields woven from colorful tulips.
The land of the eighteenth-century European landscape parks will most fully refer to the colors of autumn and rest, typical of this season. We will also talk about the elements without which the outstanding gardens of Europe would not exist: we will move to gardens that, to varying degrees, show the variety of ground floors and garden embroidery of different eras

Four Seasons in the Gardens: Webinars on garden art

Conference in the series of garden art and historical dendrology is organized by the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210413162913/http://iro.pk.edu.pl/masters-degree-program/msc-in-architecture-faculty-of-architecture/">Institute of Landscape Architecture of the Faculty of Architecture</a> of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210413162913/http://iro.pk.edu.pl/">Cracow University of Technology</a> for over 25 years. This event has a long and well established tradition of scientific debate and knowledge exchange in the field of historic parks and gardens among researchers in Poland and Central Europe and in recent years has evolved towards the contemporary role of diverse historic green areas and issues of urban ecology.
<h3>Natural and urban environment</h3>
The 21st century urges us to analyse urban problems and revise its components. Cities in the past followed various evolutionary paths depending on the level of development of the society, its ideology, or financial factors. The key was self-reliant and polycentric production, services, commerce, and finance. What is essential today in the effort to improve the quality of life and support residents throughout the transformation is activities aimed at implementing changes to create friendly and climate-neutral spaces. It is the city that is the focal point of human life on our planet and where critical ecological challenges lie.
The proposed topical scope combines two basic yet highly relevant issues that affect the cities today, the natural and urban environment viewed from various angles and through different relations. Both are investigated from distinctive perspectives, dedicated sciences: ecology and history, respectively, including heritage and monument conservation. Research focusing on urban and suburban zones will be rather interesting.
<h3>IX International Edition online</h3>
Due to the uncertain pandemic situation, the conference will be organized this year online via Zoom Meeting, restricted to those who have already registered.
The research of the participants will be published in the Sustainability journal (ISSN 2071-1050, IF 2.592), section: ‘Sustainable Urban and Rural Development’ in a special edition: ‘Natural Environment and Cultural Heritage in the City, A Sustainability Perspective’.

The ERHG patron the XXVII Scientific Landscape Conference in Cracow: Urban Ecology and Cultural Heritage in the city

The “<a href="https://www.europeanhistoricgardens.eu/en/citri-aurea-project">Citri et Aurea</a>” project, which has been successfully implemented since 2019, has been unfolding remarkably well, like the cooperation between the Uffizi Gallery and the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace in Wilanów. In September 2020, a specialist seminar will be held in Warsaw, featuring workers on historical residencies in Poland and Italy, during which they will present the achievements of both countries on conservation of historic gardens and citrus collections. The event is held under the patronage of the European Route of Historical Gardens.
The strengthening of diplomatic contacts between the courts of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo III Medici and King Jan III after the victorious battle of Vienna resulted in sending eight crates of plants to Wilanów in 1684. Among the plant varieties mentioned by the historical sources was citrus lumia, dubbed “Adam’s apple” (‘Pomum Adami’), gifted at the time as a token of friendship. The sensitive goods were sent on a long 1600-kilometre road from Florence to Warsaw. The extraordinary history of plants from almost 340 years ago became a starting point for the cooperation concerning the historical citrus collections between the Boboli Gardens, managed by the Uffizi Gallery and the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace in Wilanów. This was made possible thanks to the membership of both gardens in the European Route of Historic Gardens.

<h1>Historic gardens and citrus collections</h1>
The Boboli Gardens can boast a remarkable citrus collection, which is believed to be one of the most important in Europe, encompassing more than 500 pots with citrus trees, including around 90 various varieties, including 20 historical varieties from the Medici era. To this day, the plants are grown in line with traditional Tuscan cultivation methods and gardening ways.
The team of the Boboli Gardens will support the Wilanów Museum staff with their expert knowledge, aiding the Polish museum with an extremely difficult undertaking – reconstruction of the collection of historical citrus varieties. The process of its reconstruction began in 2016, when 38 specimens of orange trees in characteristic oak pots painted in white and green stripes appeared in the Baroque garden, The Wilanów collection currently comprises more than 100 citrus trees, encompassing 7 varieties, and is a rare collection of orangery trees in Poland.
During the Polish-Italian garden seminar online, which was slated for 1-3 September, the achievements of the institutions of both countries in the field of conservation of historic gardens and citrus collections, will be presented. This is a unique example of cooperation between Poland and Italy in the field of garden art, under the patronage of the European Route of Historic Gardens.

<h2>Celebrating Peter Joseph Lenné Gardens</h2>
Peter Joseph Lenné (1789–1866) was a Prussian landscape architect and general director general of the Royal Prussian Gardens. He played a key role in the development of 19th-century landscape gardens in the Neoclassical style and left a lasting impact on the design of parks and gardens in Europe. One of Lenné's most significant contributions was his work on the redesign of the extensive park and gardens of Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. He played a crucial role in the development of the Tiergarten in Berlin and the design of public parks in several other German cities. Many of his works are located in today's western and north Poland and plays the role of an international garden heritage. These include the Zwierzyniec Park and the Działyński Palace Garden in Złotów, the seat town of the Złotów County in the Greater Poland region. 
<h2>Garden Tourism and Cultural Routes Conference</h2>
The Local Tourism Organisation “The Springs of Greater Poland Voivodeship” (WZLOT) organized a conference “Green gold, or the value of historic gardens for the tourism and international cooperation development” on January 26, 2024 in the Town Hall in Złotów. The event coordinator was Stanisław Pawełek, a local community leader, who initiated the establishment of the Peter Joseph Lenné Route of Historic Gardens and Parks. 
<h2>The ERHG collaborator Jacek Kuśmierski has been the keynote speaker</h2>
The keynote speaker was Jacek Kuśmierski, an independent collaborator of the European Route of Historic Gardens and co-founder of the <a href="https://ecso.pl/en/" target="_blank">Eduard Petzold European Centre for Garden Art</a>. He presented modern trends in garden tourism in Poland, past European Union programs supporting the garden heritage protection, and examples of Polish and international garden routes. The main one was the European Route of Historic Gardens awarded by the Council of Europe certification in 2020. Jacek Kuśmierski talked about the history of our Association, its members, goals and achievements, such as the European Annual Forum on Historic Gardens and the European Day of Historic Gardens.

<h2 class="p1">The importance of gardens</h2>
For 'garden professionals', including landscape architects, garden historians, horticulture engineers, gardeners and botanists, the interest in and love of landscapes, gardens and plants, the desire to preserve, protect and improve them, is self-evident. Many people feel the same fascination at the sight of a harmonious landscape, a beautiful flower garden, a huge tree providing shade. A pilgrimage to a cedar tree, or cherry trees in blossom, or a maple with colourful foliage, a visit to famous gardens, listening to the splashing of famous fountains, is an integral part of human life and universal art in every part of the world. All these places are also centres of ecological and artistic education for all generations.
<h2 class="p1">A progressive category in the tourism offer</h2>
Over the past decade, outdoor places with natural features, garden heritage sites with complex cultural heritage, have become increasingly popular around the world. During the pandemic, not only have historic and heritage gardens, parks, memorials, cemeteries, religious and secular landscape heritage sites seen increased visitor numbers, but many cultural events have moved to these sites. With all these representing tourist attractions, garden tourism is now a specific and progressive category in the tourism offer. To ensure that the appearance and presence of garden tourism is a positive experience for both the garden and the visitor, professionalism is needed. The challenges and tasks originate from multiple sources and have multiple impacts.
<h5 class="p1">What do we expect, what do we get and what do we leave behind when we become tourists and garden visitors, and what should we do if we are the owners, managers and maintainers of the garden?</h5>
Although garden tourism has a long history, our historic gardens have been invisible to the traveller in the modern tourism, despite the fact that the most famous gardens in garden art are almost a must-see on a trip. While in some countries and regions we can already speak of organised garden tourism, in Hungary, garden tourism is just beginning to develop.
<h2 class="p1">The Conference</h2>
The aim of the conference is to review together the current situation of garden tourism and to formulate the most important strategic issues and lines of action. The two-day conference, starting on 17 April 2024 in the Ceremonial Hall of the <a href="https://pim.hu/en" target="_blank">Petőfi Literary Museum</a>, will bring together renowned Hungarian and foreign experts in the field of garden heritage and tourism to share good examples, methods, challenges and difficulties. Knowledge of tourism trends and the laws and requirements of tourism is essential in preparing gardens to welcome tourism.
<h2 class="p2">The Guests</h2>
The international guests come from the <a href="https://www.coe.int/en/web/cultural-routes/european-institute-of-cultural-routes" target="_blank">Council of Europe's European Institute of Cultural Routes</a>, the UK (<a href="https://www.into.org/" target="_blank">International National Trusts Organisation</a>, <a href="https://www.historicgardens.org/" target="_blank">Historic Gardens Foundation</a>, <a href="https://worldheritageuk.org/" target="_blank">World Heritage UK</a>), Portugal and Spain (European Route of Historic Gardens), the Netherlands (International Garden Tourism Network) and China (Beijing National Botanic Garden). The national speakers represent the <a href="https://mabotkertek.hu/kezdolap/?lang=en" target="_blank">Association of Hungarian Arboreta and Botanical Gardens</a>, <a href="https://kiralyikastely.hu/royal-palace-of-godollo.html" target="_blank">Gödöllő Royal Castle</a>, <a href="https://nof.hu/en/introduction/" target="_blank">National Heritage Conservation Development Nonprofit Ltd.</a> and alternative garden tourism operators.
In addition to the lectures, this year there will also be a major role for joint workshops, joint reflection and the exchange of ideas and experiences. As in previous years, art and garden education workshops for school groups will be organized in parallel with the professional work. Awareness-raising and education of children is the key to a prosperous future for gardens.
