imperial gardens
Monarch's cultivated estate
Imperial gardens are the elaborate landscaped grounds of palaces and residences belonging to emperors and royal families.
These gardens typically feature carefully designed layouts with pavilions, water features, and symbolic plantings reflecting cultural ideals of harmony and power.
The term often evokes the famous gardens of China and Japan: The Summer Palace's imperial gardens took decades to complete.
