Garden Art Route between the Rhine and Maas
The street of garden art between the Rhine and the Maas is the framework for a tourist route that connects outstanding private and public gardens in the northern Rhineland and the province of Limburg , the Netherlands , and which draws even more public attention to tourism . The individual systems are located in a wide corridor within which you have to and can find your own way. There is no prescribed route. Through city marketing financial aid be acquired for the upkeep of the facilities. The seat of the sponsoring association is Schloss Dyck in Jüchen .
history
The idea arose at the end of 2001 in preliminary considerations for the decentralized state horticultural show 2002 Garden art on the Lower Rhine and the cross-border projects Euroga 2002 and 2003 . The Dutch EUROGA 2002 Foundation has been involved in the planning since September 2003. Potential candidates were carefully assessed. Around half of the selected gardens and parks have taken part so far. A registered association was founded on August 27, 2004 , which by mid-2005 already had 30 members representing 50 gardens. When selecting members, we continue to focus on excellence. The number of palaces and gardens in the region is estimated at 950.
outlook
The project is integrated into the EU- funded program European Garden Heritage Network , which was initiated at the end of 2003 and currently includes 16 partners in Germany, France, Great Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Here, too, the Center for Garden Art and Landscape Culture, Stiftung Schloss Dyck , is in charge. Corresponding initiatives are to be promoted in a coordinated manner under this umbrella, which has yet to be expanded.
For Germany, the members and gardens are preparing for the year of palaces and parks announced by the German National Tourist Board for 2008.
