Abstract

Prispelo: 8. avgusta 2002, sprejeto 8. aprila 2003 Received: 8. august 2002, accepted 8. april 2003 I Z V L E Č E K Na Slovenskem je Karel Zois leta 1781 ustanovil prvi botanični vrt (park Brdo pri Kranju). Članek se osredotoča na pregled rastlinskega fonda tega parka. Na podlagi pregleda arhivskega gradiva, ki se nanaša na botanična raziskovanja Karla Zoisa in njegovo brdsko posest, je prikazana vsebina in prostorska struktura brdskega botaničnega parka. V njem je Karel Zois poleg avtohtonih rastlin, ki jih je nabiral na svojih botaničnih pohodih, gojil tudi tujerodne rastline, zlasti drevnino. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je prvi uvedel številne javore (Acer creticum, A. negundo, A. pensylvanicum, A. saccharinum), katalpo (Catalpa bignonioides), tulipanovec (Liriodendron tulipifera) in mnoge druge drevesne in grmovne vrste. Rastline je uvažal iz Anglije, Italije, Nizozemske in Avstrije. Razporejal jih je v pregledne nasade brez oblikovalskih namenov. Obliko je pogojevala rodovitnost zemljišč. Tujerodna rastlina je imela v tem vrtu znanstveno vlogo.

... Contrary to this, other researchers consider that the irst botanic garden was that of Karl Zois . According to Petkovšek (1960) it was founded in 1785 whereas Dobrilovič and Kravanja (2003) state 1781 as the year of its foundation. The garden was famous for its arboreal species and Alpine plants, most particularly endemic lora, as well as numerous foreign species (Petkovšek 1960, Praprotnik 1988, 2004, Dobrilovič and Kravanja 2003. ...

... In addition to the abovementioned gardens there were some other parks and gardens in the territory of present-day Slovenia (Jernejec Babič et al. 2009), among them also in Ljubljana (Dobrilovič and Kravanja 2003). In 1809 the horticultural scene of Ljubljana became very lively in various locations. ...

V delu je obravnavana zgodovina botaničnega vrta v Ljubljani. Predstavljeno je nekaj novo odkritih arhivskih dokumentov. Osvetljene in primerjalno so podane Paulinove in Vossove ocene vrta za obdobje po F. Hladniku (1834) do prihoda A. Paulina (1886), ki so primerjane še z zapisi iz arhivskih dokumentov vrta za to obdobje, ki do sedaj še niso bili predstavljeni. Po teh primerjavah se kaže, da je vrt kljub vsemu preko celotnega svojega obdobja delovanja, ohranjal kontinuiteto dela, kot je potrebna za botanični vrt. V zadnjem delu je opisano še novejše obdobje vrta.

V poznem 18. in zgodnjem 19. stoletju je zbiranje tujih rastlin postalo moda, ki je zajela evropske dvore ter posledično številne plemiče, intelektualce, vrtnarje in druge. Nove rastline so tako gojili v oblikovanih vrtovih, zbirali v herbarijih in navajali v katalogih ali jih dajali upodabljati. V tem času ni bilo pomembno le samo zbiranje rastlin, ampak tudi to, da so lastniki oz. zbiratelji pridobili botanično znanje, ki jim je omogočalo, da so te rastline pravilno uporabljali in predstavljali. Na Kranjskem bi tovrstno botanično zanimanje prepoznali pri baronu Jožefu Erbergu, baronih Zois, jezuitu Gabrielu Gruberju in mnogih drugih. Aktivnosti barona Erberga, kot jih lahko razberemo iz arhivskih virov (predvsem njegove ohranjene korespondence), so tako vključevale zbiranje rastlin, njihovo izmenjavo in nakup ter zanimanje za druge botanične novosti. Med kranjskimi ljubitelji rastlin so bile posebno priljubljene pelargonije, hortenzije in agave, ki so imele pomembno mesto v oblikovanih vrtovih, pogosto znotraj predela vrta, ki je bil namenjen neavtohtonim rastlinam. Zbiranje tujih rastlin pa seveda ni le domena obravnavanega časa in prostora, saj so ga poznali že v času starih civilizacij, kot sta bili npr. asirska in kitajska, ter v 16. in 17. stoletju, in sicer v okviru priljubljenih kabinetov kuriozitet. Ob primerjanju slednjih in botaničnih zbirk zgodnjega 19. stoletja lahko prepoznamo nekatere podobnosti (zbiranje redkih, predvsem eksotičnih rastlin ter zbiranje rastlin z namenom prikazati imperialno moč), vendar so družbene spremembe 18. in 19. stoletja vplivale na botanično zbiranje ter prinesle novosti in razlike. Razvoj botanike kot znanosti, uveljavljanje botaničnega ljubiteljstva, modne rastline, zanimanje za gospodarsko donosnost posesti, spremenjeno dojemanje narave in okolja ter drugih družbenih vrednot, kot sta bili družina in država – vse to je torej okoli leta 1800 vplivalo na priljubljenost zbiranja rastlin v evropskem prostoru oz. na Kranjskem. Tako lahko zbiranje rastlin v tem času posledično vidimo tudi kot zaton in preobrazbo nekdanjih naravoslovnih kabinetov kuriozitet.

The work deals with a brief survey of the history of botanic gardens, a survey of botanic activities in the territory of present-day Slovenia, special emphasis being given to the exchange and collaboration with foreign botanists. The major topic revolves around the exchange of seeds and live plants. The year 2008 marks the 120th anniversary of seed harvesting in the Botanic Garden of the University of Ljubljana and 2009 the 120th anniversary of the first printed list of seeds, Index seminum. The author submits a comparison with other European botanic gardens and a short analysis of seeds harvested in 1888. The work includes a survey of seed indexes from 1884 to 1891 from different European botanic gardens, such as in possession of the Ljubljana Botanic Garden.

The introduction of non-native tree species to the territory of present-day Slovenia has not been well documented. The first documented introduction of a considerable number of species took place at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. The estimated average time lag between the first known introduction of a particular species to Europe and its first record in Slovenia was 70–90 years. At first, species were planted in specialized plant collections, and their planting frequency was low. However, the planting frequency of some tree species, such as black locust and tree of heaven, was high since they were also widely used for afforestation of degraded soils. High planting frequency together with high seed dispersal rate resulted in their later invasiveness. Both species illustrate how human interference in ecosystems can generate long-term processes that cannot be stopped after a sudden change in social perspectives and values.

In the late 18th and early 19th century, the collecting of exotic plants became a fashion that took hold of European courts, and was followed by many noblemen, intellectuals, gardeners and others. It was not only popular to grow new plants in gardens, collecting them in herbaria or illustrating and enumerating them in catalogues, but was also important to develop botanical knowledge to enable the owners of the plants to use and present them. In Carniola we can observe this interest in botany in the cases of Baron Joseph Erberg, Barons Žiga and Karl Zois, Jesuit Gabriel Gruber as well as many others. Baron Erberg's activity is recorded in archives which include lively correspondence concerning plant collecting, the exchange and purchase of plants and other botanical matters. So we can see that among plant lovers in Carniola foreign plants such as pelargonium, agave and hydrangea were popular and that they had a special role in gardens devoted especially to exotic plants. The collecting of exotic plants is not just a phenomenon of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries but can be traced back to early civilisations such the Assyrians and ancient Chinese and was also notable in a the 16th and 17th centuries with their cabinets of curiosities. But studying the botanical collection of exotic and new (or newly defined) plants gardens of the late 18th and early 19th centuries shows us that although we can recognize some of the old “habits” in the process of collecting (collecting of rare, fascinating plants or collecting plants to demonstrate imperial power) the social changes in the 18th century left their trace also in this aspect of human activity. Thus we can understand plant collecting of this time as a decline and metamorphosis of the former natural cabinets of curiosities. In botanical gardens of the late 18th and early 19th century we see the development of science of botany, the rise of the amateur botanist, a different perception of nature and the environment, the development of education and new social values including family and state, which all had an impact on the popularity of the plant collecting around the year 1800 in Europe and in Carniola.
