Abstract
The article highlights the key stages in the development of landscape construction at the M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the NAS of Ukraine (NBG) – from the initial concepts of establishing an academic botanical garden and initial projects of the 1930s–1950s to the organization of the Department of Landscape Construction in 2001. In particular, the contribution of V.I. Lypskyi, O.V. Fomin, M.M. Gryshko, and L.I. Rubtsov to the development of the scientific and aesthetic principles for organizing the territory of the NBG is examined. The characteristics of design solutions aimed at integrating collection-based, decorative, educational-scientific, and recreational functions are described. Information regarding the formation and subsequent development of specific landscape displays, which have become integral components of the department’s current structure, is presented. The continuity between the initial vision of the NBG’s founders and the unit’s contemporary activities in the fields of ornamental horticulture, landscape architecture, and the greening of urban areas is demonstrated.
