landscape garden
Designed pastoral scenery
A landscape garden is a style of garden designed to imitate natural scenery rather than follow formal geometric patterns.
Originating in 18th-century England as a reaction against rigid French gardens, it features rolling lawns, irregular lakes, scattered trees, and carefully composed views that appear unplanned: Capability Brown transformed the estate into a sweeping landscape garden.
The term often appears as landscape gardening for the practice itself.
