English garden
Informal pastoral grounds
An English garden is a style of landscaping that emphasizes naturalistic design over formal geometry—winding paths, irregular flower beds, and plantings that appear to have grown wild rather than been arranged.
The style emerged in 18th-century England as a reaction against the rigid symmetry of French formal gardens.
The estate featured an English garden with meandering walkways and mixed borders.
