The paper presents selected parks and gardens associated with natural landscape which surrounds them, the history of places and people living there. Parks of memory constitute a kind of sculpture gallery in the open air. They also unite open and built space, emphasizing landscape and local cultural values. Owing to places for recreation and cultural events they became attractive public space for residents and tourists. Gardens located in the neighbourhood of museums and art galleries are integrally connected with the collections, serving an important role in their promotion. The integration of gardens and museums appeals new visitors to them, it has educational values as well. It creates cultural models and increases attractiveness of public spaces in a crowded cities. Based on the examples presented in the paper we can draw a conclusion that the interaction between landscape and art influence a protection of regional identity and traditional elements of the environment. Gardens and parks are developing awareness of the existing values, shaping perception of space and increasing sensitivity for art. They are also considerably contributing to formation of cultural models and mechanisms.
