English gardens
Verdant British landscapes
English gardens are a style of landscape design emphasizing naturalistic, informal arrangements rather than geometric symmetry.
Developed in 18th-century England as a reaction against formal French gardens, they feature meandering paths, irregular plantings, and picturesque views meant to evoke pastoral countryside: The estate's English garden looked almost wild compared to the manicured hedges of Versailles.
