Tomorrow we kick off the 7th Historic Gardens Forum. In the European Route of Historic Gardens (ERHG) calendar, this is the most important event. It captures not only one of the meanings of the ERHG's existence but illustrates in a tangible way the ideas promoted by the Council of Europe. This year we are meeting at the Botanical Garden in Zugdidi (Georgia). With 21 lecturers, we will look at the place of historic gardens at the dawn of new centuries. At the dawn of the centuries, are the spaces of historic gardens sanctuaries of tradition or a whimsical experimental field in which economic and engineering innovations and new cultural and social patterns are implemented? The second part of the forum, entitled ‘Historic gardens united in challenges’, will focus on plant pests and diseases. Their presence and also the intensity of their occurrence is also a sign of the ‘changes’ of the times. However, it is not only a sign of modern times, but a phenomenon that our ancestors also experienced. The scourge of Dutch elm disease is worth mentioning here, which in the middle of the 19th century permanently changed hundreds of gardens and entire landscapes in Europe within a few decades.

Are you taking part in Plantlife International's #NoMowMay and #LetItBloomJune? 🌱🌼 Our recent study has proven that letting parts of your garden grow wild with long grass can boost butterfly numbers by up to 93%! 🦋 The biggest benefits of these wild spaces were found in urban areas and intensively farmed landscapes where butterflies are most under pressure.

https://lnkd.in/dggjceTB What is shown in this article is similar to what happens in various parts of Crete. To be more precise, along the central road between Rethymno and Chania, near the village of Episkopi. Two completely new holiday villages will be installed. A similar village was built a few years ago (which is completely deserted in winter). MORE, MORE, LESS, LESS is the beautiful Cretan nature and the local people. Is the future what we are waiting for??

In partnership with Cape York Traditional Owner groups, the Australian and Queensland Labor Governments have nominated the Cultural Landscapes of Cape York Peninsula to Australia’s UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List. Covering more than 120,000 km2 of north-eastern Australia, Cape York Peninsula is a biodiverse cultural landscape. It includes Quinkan Country rock art of spirit beings, men and women, dingos, macropods, echidnas, birds, reptiles, and fish that details the millennia-long beliefs, practices and connection to Country of Traditional Owners. While it is only 3 per cent of the continental landmass, Cape York Peninsula is home to 18.5 per cent of Australian plant species and more than 300 threatened species, including the green sawfish, Cape York rock wallaby, and southern cassowary. Areas included in the Tentative List submission are: 1. Alwal National Park (CYPAL) 2. KULLA (McIlwraith Range) National Park (CYPAL) 3. Ma’alpiku (Restoration Island) National Park (CYPAL) 4. Olkola National Park (CYPAL) 5. Oyala Thumotang National Park (CYPAL) 6. Quinkan Country 7. Wuthathi (Shelburne Bay) National Park (CYPAL) A full World Heritage Nomination will not result in a boundary over the whole of Cape York Peninsula but is expected to be a series of disconnected areas, that are included in a serial World Heritage property. The Australian and Queensland Labor governments will continue to work alongside Traditional Owner groups and the Cape York community throughout the World Heritage nomination process.

🌷🌳 Today let's admire the majestic tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), which usually adorns the landscapes of Belgium with its tulip-shaped flowers in early May. 🌷 The flowers of the Tulip Tree are truly a sight to behold, resembling tulips with their distinctive shape and bright colours. The pale yellow to dark orange flowers attract pollinators and delight the eye with their beauty. 🌳 Tulip trees are among the tallest deciduous trees in North America and Europe. Their towering presence adds majesty to the Belgian landscape, serving as a symbol of strength and resilience. 🌟 Cultural significance: In Belgian culture, the tulip tree symbolises the renewal and beauty of spring and inspires creation, reflecting the eternal appeal of the natural world. 💡 Did you know that Brussels is home to three monumental tulip trees? They can be found in the Leopold Park, the Jean-Felix Hap garden and the Ambiorix square. ❗Right now, trees around the world are facing hard times due to the climate crisis and continued deforestation, which is disheartening as forests are the lifeblood of our planet. Help us make a difference by making a donation so we can plant more trees in Belgium and Africa!
