The aim of this article is to suggest that one should think of gardens in terms of performances and not necessarily in terms of architecture, painting, or poetry, for it is possible to show that, strangely enough, gardens seem to share certain features with performance arts. Such an approach seems fruitful since it allows one both to grasp the fact that gardens combine culture and nature and to underline the role of the latter, which cannot be reduced to a sheer medium as is traditionally done. The contention is that gardens should be treated more like a continuous, dynamic, partly planned process in which people can participate in different ways on a par with other non-human ‘actors’. Moreover, the category of performance seems to offer a useful framework helping to solve certain problems inherent in traditional ways of thinking about gardens.

The article concerns the presence of nature in pre-industrial towns. I address here the problems I encountered when recreating the urban layout of Dolsk, an averagesized town in Greater Poland belonging to the bishops of Poznan in the Old Polish period, at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. This problem concerned showing the socio-economic character of the city. The reproduction constitutes part of Greater Poland’s volume of the series of the Historical Atlas of Poland. The search for the presence of nature in cities was based on a query in written sources from the first half of the 17th century and on the basis of the oldest known and preserved city map from the end of the 18th century. The reference to natural elements in Dolsk is associated with the presence of home gardens, which constitute a kind of natural arrangement. Most often they appear when describing a real estate that was the subject of purchase/sale transactions between burghers of Dolsk or when loans were secured on a real estate. Gardens were located on plots, which constituted the basic unit of the ownership division of the urban space. However, they were not always mentioned in the descriptions of transactions. Most often they appeared at the houses that were built on plots limited from the back by the lakes surrounding Dolsk or passed into suburban areas. However, also in the case of plots that bordered with other plots from the back, one may find information about the presence of a garden on such a plot. The presence of gardens at the back of the plots in Dolsk was also registered on the oldest preserved city map of 1794–1796. Both this fact and the forwarding of elements of nature inside town walls on plans of perspective towns from the early modern period means that marking gardens on the reconstruction of the spatial arrangement seems necessary, especially in the case of towns of the size and character of Dolsk. This makes it necessary to reflect upon the methodology of creating historical maps of old towns. The simplest solution would be to create a generalized, simplified visualization of the urban space based on data taken from the oldest town plan, but not merely from a simple redrawing of the border between the residential-economic zone and the garden zone. However, not being able to mark these borders precisely on the basis of data from written sources from the 17th century, one should adopt a conventional method of marking these zones. However, this requires further reflection on the methodological concepts of modern cartography and their use to create historical maps showing the reconstruction of spatial systems of towns in the pre-industrial period. It seems that further work on a similar way of marking the space of urban plots in average-size and small towns will allow to develop a model of cartographic presentation that will better reflect the character of the space of towns such as Dolsk.

The study deals with the British journeys of Archduke Johann from 1815– 1816, Prince Johann Adolf II. of Schwarzenberg from 1825–1826 and 1838 and Prince Vincenz Karl of Auersperg from 1837. The text publishes some excerpts from their travel diaries (in the case of the Archduke a copy of his travel diary deposited in the Moravian Provincial Archive in Brno) which contain references to the nature of Great Britain, its landscape gardens, as well as the architecture of the revivalism, represented by the castles and mansions of British nobility. Since the British Romanticism influenced the aristocrats in the Czech lands and led them to rebuild their seats (including Auersperg and Schwarzenberg), it is very beneficial to present how the noblemen from the Austrian Empire got to know some examples of British Romanticism to which landscape gardens and the architecture of the revivalism belong. After a general introduction explaining how Britain contributed to shape the culture of the 19th century, the journeys of the three aristocrats and the characteristics of their travel diaries will be introduced. The main part of the text brings the edition of the records found in the mentioned documents, that are followed by their analysis and evaluation.

Historia uprawy roślin cytrusowych sięga czasów starożytnych, jednak to w dobie renesansu zyskały one szczególne znaczenie jako element sztuki ogrodowej. Wtedy też zaczęto wykorzystywać nie tylko ich użytkowy charakter, ale również wartości dekoracyjne i znaczenie symboliczne. Pierwsze udokumentowane wykorzystanie cytrusów do celów propagandowych miało miejsce w ogrodzie Medyceuszy w Castello nieopodal Florencji. W okresie tym owoce cytrusów utożsamiano z mitycznymi „złotymi jabłkami” Hesperyd, fakt ten wykorzystany został przez ród Medyceuszy w tworzeniu ogrodu o politycznym przesłaniu. Wspaniałą kolekcję roślin kubłowych, w tym cytrusów, posiadał również w Wersalu król Francji Ludwik XIV. W okresie tym oranżeria i parter pomarańczowy stały się znaczącym eremem ogrodowej kompozycji i programu. Wielkim miłośnikiem uprawy roślin cytrusowych był także elektor saski i król Polski August II Mocny. Podobnie jak Kosma I Medyceusz, utożsamiał się on z mitycznym Heraklesem, a w swych ogrodach w Dreźnie i Warszawie zgromadził olbrzymią kolekcję tych roślin - zwłaszcza pomarańczy gorzkiej. Uprawą cytrusów pasjonował się również ostatni król Polski, Stanisław August Poniatowski, a także car Aleksander II, który odkupił część kolekcji Augusta oraz wybudował nową oranżerię w parku łazienkowskim w Warszawie w celu jej utrzymywania.

The history of growing citrus plants dates back to ancient times but in the Renaissance era they gained particular importance as an element of garden art. At that time they became popular for their decorative and symbolic significance, as well as their originally intended purpose. The first documented use of citrus fruit as “garden art” took place in the garden of the Medici at Castello near Florence. During this period, citrus fruits were identified with the mythical “golden apples” of Hesperides. This fact was used by the Medici family in the garden to create a political message. The great collection of container plants including citrus was also held in Versailles, by French King Louis XIV. From that time the conservatory and orange parterre have become a sig- nifi cant element of garden composition and program. The Elector of Saxony and the King of Poland - August II the Strong was also a great lover of citrus fruits. Similar to Cosimo I de’ Medici, he identified himself with the mythical Heracles, and in his gardens in Dresden and Warsaw amassed huge collections of those plants - especially the bitter oranges which bear “golden” fruits. The last Polish king, Stanislaw August Poniatowski, was fascinated by citrus cultivation, as was Tsar Alexander II, who repurchased part of August II collection and built a new orangery in Lazienki Park in Warsaw for its maintenance.

The stylish difference of the Rococo in the garden art is still the topic of the researchers’ discussion. The Rococo, which was in opposition to the formal and rhetorical art of the Baroque, brought a new value to the eighteenth-century gardens. This value was expressed primarily in the elements of the composition, asymmetry, irregularity, wavy line, fragmentation of form and ornamentation, as well as in relation to nature and specific mood. France is considered to be the fatherland of the Rococo style, from where this new, light style has spread to other European countries. The dissemination of new ideas was favored by print theoretical dissertations and collections of projects. The works by authors such as L. Liger, J-F. Blondel, J-B-A. le Blond, F. de Cuvilliés, M-A. Laugier, G-L. Le Rouge, W. Chambers, S. Switzer and B. Langley enjoyed particular popularity. Many impressive gardens with Rococo features were created especially in Germany and Poland. Their special flourishing in Poland fell on the times of the Polish-Saxon Union, and especially during the reign of Augusts III in the years 1733-1763. Special attention should be paid to the projects related to the patronage of the first minister H. Brühl. Rococo features can be found in several of his gardens, such as garden at Nowy Świat in Warsaw, garden in Wola, the unfinished garden project for the former Sanguszko palace or a garden in Brody (Pförten). Rococo compositions were also created in the gardens of Prince Adam Poniński at Żyzna street in Warsaw and in Górce. In 1966, the concept of a magnificent royal garden at the Ujazdów Castle was created. Noteworthy is also the arrangement of gardens in Puławy from the times of Zofia and August Czartoryski as well as Flemming in Terespol. The designers of many Polish gardens of that period were Saxon architects, such as: J.D. von Jauch, J.F. Knöbel, C.F. Pöppelmann, E. Schröger or J.Ch. Knöffel. From the 1770s, Rococo creations in Poland began to give way to landscape concepts.

Odrębność stylowa rokoka w sztuce ogrodowej wciąż pozostaje tematem dyskusji badaczy. Stojące w opozycji do formalnej i retorycznej sztuki baroku rokoko wniosło do XVIII-wiecznych ogrodów nową jakość. Wyrażała się ona przede wszystkim w elementach kompozycji: asymetrii, nieregularności i falistej linii, rozdrobnieniu formy i ornamentyce, a także w zbliżeniu do natury oraz specyficznym nastroju. Za ojczyznę rokoka uznaje się Francję, skąd moda na nowy, lekki styl rozprzestrzeniła się na inne kraje europejskie. Upowszechnianiu nowych wzorców sprzyjały ukazujące się drukiem rozprawy teoretyczne i zbiory projektów. Szczególną popularnością cieszyły się prace takich autorów, jak: L. Liger, J-F. Blondel, J-B-A. le Blond, F. de Cuvilliés, M-A. Laugier, G-L. Le Rouge, W. Chambers oraz S. Switzer i B. Langley. Wiele okazałych ogrodów o cechach rokokowych powstało zwłaszcza w Niemczech i w Polsce. Ich szczególny rozkwit w Polsce przypada na czasy unii polsko-saskiej, a zwłaszcza w latach 1733--1763, za panowania Augusta III. Na szczególną uwagę zasługują realizacje związane z mecenatem pierwszego ministra Henryka Brühla. Cech rokoka dopatrywać się można w kilku z nich, np.: w ogrodzie przy Nowym Świecie w Warszawie, ogrodzie na Woli, w niezrealizowanym projekcie ogrodu przy dawnym pałacu Sanguszków czy ogrodu w Brodach (niem. Pförten). Rokokowe kompozycje powstały także w ogrodach księcia Adama Ponińskiego – przy ul. Żyznej w Warszawie i w Górcach. Około 1966 r. powstała koncepcja okazałego ogrodu królewskiego przy Zamku Ujazdowskim. Na uwagę zasługuje także aranżacja ogrodów w Puławach z czasów Zofii i Augusta Czartoryskich, a także Flemmingów w Terespolu. Projektantami wielu polskich ogrodów tego okresu byli architekci sascy, tacy jak: J.D. von Jauch, J.F. Knöbel, C.F. Pöppelmann, E. Schröger czy J.Ch. Knöffel. Od lat 70. XVIII wieku kreacje rokokowe w Polsce ustępować zaczęły koncepcjom krajobrazowym.

Przy tworzeniu projektów rewaloryzacji zabytkowych parków i ogrodów niezbędne jest zapoznanie się ze wszystkimi dostępnymi archiwaliami. Sięgnięto do nich również w związku z ogłoszonym w 2016 r. konkursem pn. „Opracowanie koncepcji rewaloryzacji Parku Miejskiego w Kaliszu”. Znaczący, dotąd nieopracowany materiał do historii parku znajduje się w dokumentach Naczelnika Powiatu Kaliskiego z lat 1834-1849 w Archiwum Państwowym w Kaliszu. Zawierają one szczególnie cenne spisy drzew i krzewów sporządzone w 1846 r. przez zatrudnionego w parku ogrodnika Antoniego Wodziczkę. Park Miejski w Kaliszu był od początku ogrodem publicznym, utworzonym i rozbudowywanym z myślą o mieszkańcach, co znajduje wyraz w źródłach historycznych i literaturze wspomnieniowej. Bierze on swój początek z połączenia ogrodów pojezuickich i pastwisk miejskich w 1793 r. W latach 1824-1825 przy placu ćwiczeń Korpusu Kadetów powstało miejsce nazywane „spacerem”. Jednym z etapów rozwoju przestrzennego tego obszaru było założenie gospodarstwa ogrodniczego w latach 40. XIX w., poza parkiem publicznym – powstał staw z wyspą (1843) i postawiono Dom Szwajcarski (1844) o funkcji mieszkalnej, który w przyziemiu pełnił też rolę oranżerii. W strukturze gospodarstwa ogrodniczego znalazł się również ogród botaniczny. W kolejnym etapie rozbudowy parku, po 1846 r., zazieleniano teren przy rzece Prośnie i za jej odnogą w kierunku gospodarstwa ogrodniczego. Jednocześnie założono park w stylu angielskim przy nowo wykopanym kanale Bernardyńskim (1841-1842). Tereny zielone parku, choć powstawały w różnych latach, tworzyły jednolitą strukturę już około 1873 r. W tymże roku zlikwidowano naturalną odnogę Prosny, stano¬wiącą granicę najstarszej części parku, w to miejsce wykopano prosto biegnący przekop istniejący do dzisiaj. Projekt rewaloryzacji południowej części Parku Miejskiego w Kaliszu w świetle przedstawionych w artykule archiwaliów powinien obejmować zaznaczenie obszaru dawnego gospodarstwa ogrodniczego, tak by zatarciu nie uległ przekaz o funkcji, jaką pełniło ono w rozbudowie terenu i utrzymaniu parku.

When creating projects aimed at revalorisation of historic parks and gardens, it is essential to familiarise oneself with all available archival materials. Such materials were also consulted in connection with the announced competition titled “Development of a project aimed at revalorisation of the Municipal Park in Kalisz” in 2016. Important materials connected with the park’s history which have yet to be elaborated can be found in the documents of the Head of the Kalisz County from the years 1834-1849 at the State Archives in Kalisz. They contain invaluable inventories of trees and shrubs prepared in 1846 by a gardener who worked at the park, Antoni Wodziczko. Since the beginning, the Municipal Park in Kalisz has been a public garden, created and expanded with the residents in mind, which is reflected in historical sources and memoirs. Its origins can be traced back to the connection of post-Jesuit gardens and municipal pastures in 1793. In the years 1824-1825, a place called “the promenade” was created by the Corps of Cadets’ drill ground. One of the stages of spatial development of this complex consisted of creation of a horticultural farm in the 1840s outside the public park – a pond with an island was constructed (1843) and the residential Swiss House was erected (1844), which also served as a conservatory on the ground floor. The horticultural farm also included a botanical garden. At the next stage of expansion of the park, after 1846, the area by the Prosna River and its distributary was greened in the direction of the horticultural farm. At the same time, an English landscape park was formed near the newly-dug Bernardyński Channel (1841-1842). The park’s green areas, while created in different years, formed a uniform structure as early as in 1873. In this year, the natural distributary of the Prosna River, which constituted a border of the oldest part of the park, was filled in and a straight-running trench was excavated in its place, which exists to present day. In the light of the archival materials presented in the article, the project aimed at revalorisation of the southern part of the Municipal Park in Kalisz should envisage that the area of the former horticultural farm is marked, so that the function it served in the context of area expansion and park maintenance is not forgotten.
