Sažetak
This article documents main events, persons and acts of the Horticultural Society in Zagreb as the foremost promoter of horticulture and garden architecture at the beginning of the 20th century. The general professional and economic context in which the Society operated at the time is described together with the starting points for establishing the Society and its activities. The information in the article arise from the study of historical material from the beginning of the 20th century, primarily official documents, journals and magazines, and other material that documents or describes events and protagonist in a given time frame. The results show that the promoters of horticulture and garden architecture were experts in natural and biotechnical professions, mainly botanists and agronomists - gardeners, but also garden architects educated abroad. The main initiators and promoters of the profession were gathered in the Horticultural Society in Zagreb, which was the first such society in the territory of the then Kingdom of Yugoslavia, on the basis of which other societies dedicated to the development of horticulture in the following periods were formed. In its wide range of activities, the Society has made a special contribution to the organization of education at higher and secondary level and general professional promotion of the profession - popularization of the profession in public, embedding the profession in the legislative system and developing general awareness of the culture of garden design and other open urban spaces. Vale Vouk, a botanist by profession and the greatest advocate of founding the Society, Zdravko Arnold, the first assistant professor of horticulture in the country at the time, and Ciril Jeglič, one of the first landscape architects in the country, by their actions have especially contributed to the Society.
