Résumé:
The article inventories the historical gardens of the Călata Region, respectively the plots of preserved, ruinous or endangered manor houses, mansions, and manors, their vegetation and unique landscape historical features, listing them in three categories based on their significance. During her personal filed walks in about 90 settlements, the author has found several unpublished or barely published historical sites, which may have a varied degree of impact on the evolution of the settlements’ historical landscapes, and which in our fast-pacing world might fallvictim in minutes to property developments or dispersion. The article focuses on garden design and conscious landscaping interventions with an inventory-like character, with short descriptions referring to historical evolution and state of preservation, map sketches, and the publication of a rich archival and present-day photographic material. In the list containing 40 sites, we would like to highlight the Szepessy Villa and dendrologic park in Jebucu, the garden of the Barcsay Manor House in Huedin, the Telegdy Garden in Alunișu, the villas in Suceagu, the Gallus Villa in Gilău, respectively several smaller buildings, groves, and gardens from the turn and the middle of the 20th century.
