Abstract

Water gardens contribute to residence quality in open spaces and experience of joining human being and its environment. Unfortunately they are completely neglected in Croatia and haven’t had proper attention so far. The result is that they almost don’t exist in public spaces cause of prejudices that they are hard to maintain and expensive. For quality water garden design and its minimised maintenance it is crucial to have precise and systematic choice of plant material. Botanical garden, established in 1889, is one of rare public spaces that contain water gardens in its structure on witch we can refer to in a domain of public water gardens in city of Zagreb. Based on collected literature, field trips in transition period from fall to winter 2006./2007., detailed photo documentation, finished plant material inventory of informal garden in Botanical garden the plant material planting proposal has been made.
