In this paper, we present the opinion of different scientists about the concept “historic garden”, in English and “parc moşieresc” in Romanian.         We used several methods in our study: documentation, analysis, synthesis and comparison. The data base for the study consists of local (legislation of Republic of Moldova) and international legislation and works in this field. Firstly, it will be presented the conception of local scientists about the notion “historic garden” and its reflection in the local legislation. Secondly, it will be presented the international concept about this term.  The study of landlord parks on current territory of Republic of Moldova started after the Second World War [1]. As Russian was the language of the science, the term “усадебный парк” was used for “historic garden”. It can be found in the works of scientists studying this subject [14]. Later, it was published a monograph [5], where it was used the expression “парк мошиереск” written in Romanian with Cyrillic alphabet. The expression is the translation for the Russian term mentioned above.  After declaring its independence, in 1991, in the republic is used Romanian with Latin alphabet. And nowadays, scientists concerned by this subject, use the term “parc moşieresc” [6, 7]. In 2013 was published a monograph [8] where the author operates with the expression “parc boieresc”. The term “boieresc” comes from the Romanian word “boier”, boyar being the title for local nobility.  In Moldavian legislation, the expression “усадебный парк” was found in the standard GOST 28329-89 [9] and was explained as „a garden (park) of an old mansion, that has a significant cultural and natural importance and is a territory with limited use.” In other documents it was not identified. Scientists from other countries use the term „historic garden”, „grădină istorică” translated in Romanian; it is also used in the international legislation [10].  In the Florence Charter, the historic garden is defined as “an architectural and horticultural composition of interest to the public from the historical or artistic point of view" and “an architectural composition whose constituents are primarily vegetal and therefore living, which means that they are perishable and renewable”. As we can see, both definitions are close and recognize the inestimable value of historic gardens.    In conclusion, we add that all notions mentioned above reflect the same term, highlighting different characteristics of historic gardens.
