Heritage Landscape and Gardens
Preservation of heritage landscapes-- for their own value or as a context
for heritage buildings-- draws on the history, science, and art of landscape
and garden preservation. Lectures, workshops and field trips to landscape
and garden sites in the Victoria area provide an in-depth understanding of:
~ defining "heritage" landscapes from gardens to cultural landscapes
~ approaches to preservation
~ making conservation decisions
~ preservation tools: legislation, planning, easements, registration, and
funding
research techniques/sources
~ methods of site examination and landscape inventory/analysis
~ fieldwork techniques for "reading" landscapes
~ landscape archaeology
~ evaluating extant plant materials
~ history of plant introduction and nomenclature
~ documentation, acquisition, and rejuvenation of historic plant materials
~ maintaining conserved landscapes
Dates: July 10 - 15, with a preparatory assignment
Instructors: Professor Robert Harvey has taught landscape preservation with
the Department of Landscape Architecture, Iowa State University for many
years. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects and

Parks Canada and has extensive experience in the identification, evaluation
and preservation of cultural landscapes.

Buggey will stay with me for a long time."
