| Summary: | The article is devoted to the little-known aspect of creative heritage of famous Irish landscape architect and botanist Dionizy Mikler (Denis McClair, 1762–1853), who laid near 40 English landscape parks (gardens) in Ukraine. Mikler did not leaved a notes about his gardens. So far as, we have not information about plant collections of Mikler’s parks. Unique document “The mutter about transportation of plants from Pidluzhne estate to Kyiv palace” (1873), that was found in Central State Historical archives in Kyiv, is a first and single source of our knowledge about plant collections in Mikler’s parks. Analysis of this document shows a consyderable diversity of tropical and subtropical plants in the greenhouses and hothouses and fruit and ornamental plants of temperate belt in open ground in Mikler’s garden in Pidluzhne estate. This document may be scientific foundation for reconstruction of Mikler’s gardens. |
