The International Camellia Society
Scheme for the Recognition of International Camellia Gardens of Excellence
Approved by the ICS Directors on March 26th,2023
国际杰出茶花园评审方案
国际茶花协会理事会于2023年3月26日通过
PURPOSE 宗旨
1. International Camellia Gardens of Excellence (GOE) are ambassadors of the International Camellia Society across the world. They are intended to actively promote the love for and knowledge of camellias. They are intended to build a worldwide network of knowledge and passion.
国际杰出茶花园是国际茶花协会在世界各地的大使。旨在积极促进对山茶花的热爱和知识的传播，并建立一个知识传播和情感交流的全球网络。
2. GOEs actively promote and adopt sustainability, for example water, green waste and recycling, environmental protection, and conservation of camellia collections.
国际杰出茶花园积极促进可持续性发展，例如水和绿色废物的回收利用、环境保护以及山茶种类的收集与保育。
3. Their description, location, visit times, and plant list are on the ICS website.
在国际茶花协会网站展示杰出茶花园的介绍、位置、访问时间和植物名录。
4. Gardens of excellence can reflect a wide range of complementary and overlapping objectives. In some gardens, typically old private properties, landscaping is a main objective of the garden architect (as you can see in historical gardens located in Europe, Japan, and UK). Other gardens are public botanic parks for acclimatation and/or conservation of cultivars and species, thus addressing the knowledge of cultivars and species.
杰出茶花园可以反映广泛互补和重叠的目标。一些花园是典型的古老私有财产，其美丽的景观是花园建筑师的主要目标（正如您在欧洲、日本和英国的古老花园中所看到的那样）。而更多一些的花园则是公共植物园，主要用于收集和保存栽培品种和物种，更强调品种和物种的相关知识。
5. Last and not least, Gardens of excellence show the great variety of both camellia flowers and blooming seasons, from summer (everblooming hybrids) to autumn/winter (sasanquas) to springtime (japonicas, reticulatas and all other camellias).
最后，杰出茶花园充分展示了山茶花和开花季节的多样性，从夏末（四季开花的杂交种）到秋冬（茶梅）再到春天（山茶、云南山茶和所有其他山茶花）。
Given their purpose of promoting and conserving camellias, the gardens of excellence are in every region where camellias can be cultivated for ornament or + business (camelia sinensis, camellia oleifera etc.) and, of course, where camellia species originate. To be acknowledged as excellent, gardens should comply with the criteria listed here below.
出于促进和保护山茶花的目的，杰出茶花园遍布每个可以种植山茶花作为观赏和商业用途的地区（茶叶、油茶等），当然还有山茶属物种的原产地。要被认证为杰出茶花园，应符合下面列出的标准。
CRITERIA评审标准
1 CRITERIA PROPERTY 财产所有权标准
1.1 An International Camellia Gardens of Excellence (GOE) is a government, public or private property. It is well established, and the ownership and management structures are stable, and perpetual as far as can be reasonably assessed.
国际杰出茶花园可以是政府的、公共的或私有的财产。茶花园建设完善，所有权和管理结构稳定，并且在可以合理评估范围内是永久性的。
1.2 The Garden or its owners or its curators are members of ICS. If a garden changes ownership, it shall be re-evaluated within 2 years.
花园或其所有者或其负责人是国际茶花协会的会员。如果花园改变了所有权，应在2年内重新评估。
2 THE CAMELLIA COLLECTION 收集的山茶种类
2.1 A GOE hosts a collection of camellia varieties and/or species. Plants are adult, well established and labelled. Labels identify each plant according to the naming rules of the International Camellia Register（https://camellia.iflora.cn ）to type its Scientific Name; specifically, each plant is identified by Genus / species / variety e.g., Camellia japonica ‘Masayoshi’. Local names can be added, e.g., ‘Donckelaeri’ is a local name /synonym for ‘Masayoshi’. The labels of unknown or unidentified plants are [Genus, species, ‘name*’] where the starred name is any appropriate naming, e.g., ‘chance seedling*’, ‘Mirellina*’. QR codes are added (optionally) to labels.
国际杰出茶花园收集各种山茶属物种或品种。植株是成年的、良好种植的且有植物标签的。植物标签根据国际山茶品种数据库（https://camellia.iflora.cn）的命名规则标识每种植物的学名; 具体来说，每种植物都需标出学名，如Camellia japonica 'Masayoshi'。标签上可以添加本地名称，例如，添加‘Donckelaeri’的名称，是‘Masayoshi’的本地名称/异名。未知或未识别植物的标签可用 [属/种/‘名称*’]表示，其中加星号的名称是任何适当的名称，例如，‘chance seedling*’（机遇实生苗）、‘Mirellina*’。在植物标签上添加二维码（可选项）。
2.2 The collection includes 200 or more camellia species and/or varieties, mature and well-established. Camellias are laid down according to various rationales, as landscaping, variety group, origin, etc. Some GOEs are fully dedicated to camellias while some other are landscaping parks that host a variety of ornamental species as rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas, conifers etc. besides camellias.
收集保存超过200种成熟的、良好种植的山茶物种或品种。山茶花可根据各种规则分类种植，如根据园林景观、品种类群、产地等分类种植。一些杰出茶花园是纯粹的山茶花专类园，而其他一些可以是景观公园，除了茶花，还可以种植其他各种观赏植物，如杜鹃花、绣球花、针叶树等。
2.3 A GOE is a garden, not a generic plantation of camellias. As such it has a landscaping and /or botanic value. Some GOEs are specifically created to preserve endangered or threatened species/ varieties.
杰出茶花园是一座花园，而不是一块普通的山茶花种植地。因此，它具有园林景观和/或植物学价值。一些杰出茶花园是专门为保护濒危或受威胁的物种/品种而创建的。
2.4 GOEs show excellent cultivation practices. Hence, plants are in a good condition and are obtained by grafting, seed, cutting, layering. Multiple grafting on one trunk is not admitted since it impedes a long life to the plant.
杰出茶花园展现优秀的栽培水平。因此，植物生长状况良好，并通过嫁接、播种、扦插、压条等方法繁殖。不允许在一枝树干上多次嫁接，因为它会阻碍植物的长寿。

杰出茶花园可以定期开放或按要求开放。杰出茶花园网页上注明开放的公共时间表，显示开放时间和/或预订访问的地址/电话。
