Sustainable Grassland Management in Historic Gardens: Methodology and Basics
The possibilities for research and restoration of the often damaged and fragmented historic gardens in Hungary were relatively limited in the past, but thanks to the funds provided by the European Union, more than 20 gardens were reconstructed between 2007 and 2013. Since then 18 further sites had the chance for partial restoration (covering at least the surroundings of the mansions) in the framework of the National Mansion and Castle Programme. Historic gardens have an outstanding importance in terms of heritage conservation, tourism potential and the promotion of historic garden heritage for the public. However, as a result of the restorations carried out, the extent of the areas requiring long-term maintenance has increased, which can be a challenge for the garden managers. Nowadays, the role of our landscape gardens has changed significantly, and because of this, their long-term management requires adequate preparation established on a scientific basis. The restoration process requires the integration of several different approaches from different disciplines. This complexity of approaches, appears accordingly in the case of garden management, so first we have to find the suitable framework for sustainable management and maintenance. In order to achieve this, we must synthesise the accumulated knowledge of the current management regime, which is the most important part of this complex duty. Based on previously published experiences, the main task of conservation is clearly the restoration of the spatial layout. This means that garden areas that have been neglected and afforested over the last decades, must be cleared of the overgrowth, thereby revealing the visual structure of the gardens. From practical point of view, and also regarding the fundamental concept that regards gardens as living, plant-based creations, it is obvious that constant management and maintenance is essential in the conservation of the garden heritage.Based on the experience of daily practice, and Hungarian literature on green space ...
