Tourism and Post-war Garden and Park Restorations
For a project that concerns the role of the US Government (Marshall Plan) and American tourists in the rebuilding of the post-war European historic landscape, I am seeking examples of historic public gardens or parks in England or western Europe. I would appreciate hearing of any examples of historic landscapes that were restored, rebuilt, or reconceived with the help of American funds (private or public) with an eye toward tourism. Alternatively, any suggestions on where I might inquire or research for case studies would be welcome.

Dear JCReut,
I am currently working on a research project about the historic parks in the Ypres salient (from first world war) in Belgium. A large part of these historic parks and another part has been rebuilded. I am not sure if they used any funding for this and which one.
I can provide you information about our project and I am also interested in information about similar projects.
Friendly regards,
Steven
