Abstract

As Dr. James Bradburne so clearly stated, gardens and museums share many characteristics and attributes. In the following, I shall attempt to accentuate a couple of aspects of this cross-disciplinary agenda. Given my personal fascination with horticulture, gardens will be my main focus point. My idea is to apply some of Dr. Bradburne’s museological reflections to garden theory, to introduce the term hortus musealis in the present context, and then conclude with some points concerning the reconstruction of historic gardens.
