estate gardens
Wealthy property landscaping
Estate gardens are the cultivated grounds surrounding a large private residence, typically featuring formal plantings, lawns, and ornamental features designed as much for display as for pleasure.
The term evokes aristocratic or wealthy properties where professional gardeners maintain elaborate landscapes: The estate gardens at Biltmore draw thousands of visitors each spring.
Distinguished from ordinary residential gardens by their scale and deliberate design.
