“…Only three permanent gardeners work at the campus, while horticulture and landscape architecture students, and even external contractors, take part in the maintenance. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the students’ maintenance practices were prohibited due to the required exclusionary rules [ 45 ]. The arboretum was closed to visitors and residents looking for recreation and peace within the natural landscape character.…”

Climate change may strongly modify the habitat conditions for many woody plant species. Some species could disappear from their natural habitats and become endangered, while others could adapt well to the changed environmental conditions and continue to survive successfully or even proliferate more easily. A similar process can occur within the artificial urban environment as the hitherto popularly planted urban trees may suffer from the extremities of the urban climate. However, among the planted taxa, there are species that spread spontaneously and appear as weeds in extensively managed gardens. In our study, we evaluated the native and non-native species involved in spontaneous spreading in the institutional garden of Buda Arboretum (Budapest) during the COVID-19 period in 2020–2021 when entry was prohibited, and maintenance went on in a restricted, minimal level. We investigated the correlation between spontaneously settling and planted individuals, and then performed multivariate analyses for native and non-native spreading plants for spatial and quantitative data. During our studies, we observed the spontaneous spreading of 114 woody species, of which 38 are native and 76 are non-native. Taking the total number of individuals into account, we found that, in addition to the 2653 woody species planted, a further 7087 spontaneously emerged weeds developed, which creates an additional task in the maintenance.

“…The broad scope of landscapes and their complex relationship with human interactions contributes to the expansive nature of this subject field [18]. Additionally, the landscape architect is a professional who, possessing complex expertise, plays a pivotal role in shaping liveable and sustainable landscapes and structures, fostering functional communities, and balancing social, environmental, and ecological interests [19].…”

Environmental education is not aligning with the sustainability and educational needs of the 21st century. Design-based learning emerges as a viable solution, fostering problem-solving and experiential learning in the environment. With its constructivist approach, it has the potential to improve environmental literacy across diverse social contexts. This research explores the use of research by design and design-based learning to develop extracurricular programs in schools in Brazil and Hungary. The analytical framework is developed through a literature review and systematic case analysis. The program’s objective is to engage the school community in redesigning their environment, following the design-based instruction framework, and incorporating the community’s context and landscape architecture and design principles. Program efficacy will be assessed through participant production, outcome analysis, observation, surveys, and performance on the design activities. The findings will contribute to understanding and evaluating program effectiveness in improving environmental education.
