In the last century towns and urban green spaces changed their semblance concerning landscape and architecture, due to physical, cultural and a constant overall built development. As time passed by many gardens became of historic value, but the way in which plants and ornamental elements are disposed nowadays, is highly different from the original one. The goal of the study is to find the right steps in educating people concerning the way historical parks, gardens and landscapes should be restored or conserved and how we could integrate these monuments into a constant development of environment using a good management plan and respecting the cultural context. Many disciplines and professions (Horticulture, Arboriculture, Garden and design management, Garden and architectural history, Ecology and wildlife conservation, Archaeology, Hydrology etc) need to collaborate to match the complexity of the site, to examine the features that should be repaired or renewed and to guarantee a good analysis, communication and coordinated actions in completion of a good project plan. The historic environment should be seen as a resource that can be used to demonstrate the future generations how men lived in a particular period in the past.
