Perennial border reconstruction in the castle park in Lednice

Abstract

The objective of the project was to make the design documentation for the reconstruction of the perennial border in the castle park in Lednice. The castle park is a part of Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, which was inscribed in the World Heritage List of UNESCO for its unique value in 1996. The landscape architect of the original project was Markéta Roder-Müller (1898–1981). The result of this project is documenting the flower bed development in time and analysis of design basics, principles and approaches of Müller’s work. The design documentation for perennial border renewal was made with Müller’s landscape design style in mind and time schedule and technologies for perennial border renewal were recommended. Flower bed was reconstructed in autumn of 2010 according to the established design documentation and work schedule.
