Jury Citation: This is an exemplary redesign of a historic garden and the combination of public and private funding for a public garden is a positive example for other similar heritage gardens. The flexible approach showed great respect and understanding of people’s relation with nature in the 18th century. cientific research and understanding of the nature of the trees and plants that were present in the Fredensborg Palace Garden was at the root of this project and is indicative of the strong interdisciplinary approach. Future generations were considered in several instances, for example when choosing plants and trees to replant, climate change and its effects on the selected species were considered. The affordable management plan that was developed is also commendable in that it ensures the garden’s future.
