The English Landscape School - principles of using plants and their influence on choosen examples of parks at Vlasim, Veltrusy and Krasny Dvur
2002
Adamkova, B.
The Landscape Garden, actually like any other style of gardening art, has its own and very characteristic disposition of plants which had been developed throughout the 18th century. The concept of free gardens reached very quickly the Continent, including the Czech Republic. Three public gardens, Vlasim, Veltrusy, and Krasny Dvur, were chosen in order to determine and compare the evolution of gardening art in England and the Czech Republic. These Czech parks reflect various stages of the English landscape School, particularly chinoiserie (Vlasim) and ferme ornee (Veltrusy). We can find flower beds, exotic ornaments or creep scenes in the original design of the park at Vlasim. Park at Krasny Dvur has been formed with native plants and some elements recalling us William Kent's chiaroscuro.
