The Tiree Chmelar Herb Garden - Valtice, Czech Republic - Demonstration Gardens on Waymarking.com

Valtice Chateau
The Baroque chateau originated through Renaissance and later Baroque adaptations of the original medieval castle. From 1387 to 1945 it belonged to the Lichtenštejns who invited famous architects and artists to adapt and decorate it. The chateau is surrounded by a well-kept park with several Empire garden buildings. Period furnishings in the chateau.


The Garden Idea
A year before her untimely death in 2005, Tiree Chmelar had the idea to restore the Valtice Chateau historic herb garden to showcase native culinary, aromatic, medicinal and decorative herbs and to celebrate the 17th century herbalists based in Valtice. Spending 6 months a year in the region, she observed that the town of Valtice with its magnificent Baroque chateau and park was living in the shadow of the other, more popular Lednice Chateau. She saw the Garden and the Greenways program of cultural and environmental preservation together with sustainable tourism as a way to help the town of Valtice.
