Brun., 2011, LIX, No. 6, pp. 209–216 The objective of the project was to make the design documentation for the reconstruction of the perennial border in the castle park in Lednice. The castle park is a part of Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, which was inscribed in the World Heritage List of UNESCO for its unique value in 1996. The landscape architect of the original project was Marketa Roder-Muller (1898–1981). The result of this project is documenting the fl ower bed development in time and analysis of design basics, principles and approaches of Muller’s work. The design documentation for perennial border renewal was made with Muller’s landscape design style in mind and time schedule and technologies for perennial border renewal were recommended. Flower bed was reconstructed in autumn of 2010 according to the established design documentation and work schedule. perennial border, reconstruction, Marketa Muller, castle park in Lednice Castle park in Lednice na Moravě is the part of Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, being formed as a cultural landscape by the Liechtenstein family since the 14th century. According to Government Regulation No. 262/1995 Coll., on the declaration and nullifi cation of declaration of certain cultural monuments as national cultural monuments, the area of castle in Lednice, including the park, was declared as a national culture monument (Pejchal, Kuťkova, 2003). In 1996 Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape was inscribed in the World Heritage List of UNESCO for its unique value. The perennial fl ower bed is part of a formal French style garden – the youngest part of the park being established in the late 19th century based on the design of Michelli of 1904 and being in the immediate vicinity of the Lednice castle. It is evident from historical sources that there was a rich fl oral decoration in forms of annual fl ower beds on parterre. Because of high cost and intensive maintenance, fl ower beds were continuously simplifi ed and, nowadays, they are represented mainly by groundcover planting ornaments. The original perennial bed, undeniably infl uenced by English perennial border being modern at that time, was newly redesigned by landscape architect Marketa Muller in 1963. The objective of this work is to analyze the basics, principles and approach of the work Marketa Muller took while designing the fl ower bed, and to propose principles for its renewal at the level of design documentation for structure realization. MATERIALS AND METHODS Perennial border on parterre was designed by landscape architect Marketa Roder-Muller (1898– 1981). It consists of 6 regular rectangular follow-up fl ower beds (fl ower beds A, B, C, D, E, F – Fig. 1), east-west orientated and closing the south lawn area of regular parterre. At present the beds are 4 m wide and 16, 15, 15, 10, 10 and 32 m long, respectively. While these fl ower beds follow with large grassy area with trimmed boxwood ornaments on the north side, they are accompanied by a gravel path on the south side, frequently used by visitors.
