Historic garden conservation

Historic garden conservation is a specialised type of historic preservation and restoration concerned with historical and landmark gardens and designed landscapes.

Practitioners predominantly come from backgrounds in horticulture, garden design, landscape design, and landscape architecture.

To prepare a management plan for a historic garden, such experts require knowledge and skills in environmental design, horticulture, landscape history, and architectural history, and management. Specialist educational programs are available.
