Famous Gardens - World Gardens 2

World gardens often reflect the era they were created in. Some focus on symmetry, clipped hedges, and long straight paths, while others aim for a more natural look with winding routes and mixed planting. Keeping these spaces looking “right” can take careful pruning, replanting, and managing pests and diseases. When a garden is restored, gardeners may study historical details such as layout, materials, and plant choices so the result still feels true to the original style. Looking closely at famous gardens can also help you borrow ideas for your own space, from colour themes to planting layers and path shapes.
