History

In Serbia, the Department for Town Landscaping was established at the Faculty of Forestry in Belgrade in 1960. Later on its title changed into the Department of Horticulture, then Department of Landscape Architecture, and from 2002 its name is Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture.

During the period of the former SFR Yugoslavia, Landscape Architecture Schools were formed also in Ljubljana (“Krajinska” Architecture at the Biotechnical Faculty) and in Zagreb (Gardening and Landscaping, i.e. later on Landscape Architecture at the Faculty of Agronomy).
