Persian garden
Walled Iranian oasis
A Persian garden is a traditional Iranian garden design characterized by enclosed rectangular spaces, formal geometric layouts, and abundant water features.
The classic form divides the space into four quadrants—symbolizing the four Zoroastrian elements—with channels or pools at the center.
These gardens influenced landscaping traditions across the Islamic world and into Europe, inspiring the English word "paradise," which derives from the Old Persian term for an enclosed park.
