landscape gardens
Cultivated ornamental grounds
Landscape gardens are grounds designed to appear natural rather than formal, featuring irregular arrangements of trees, lawns, lakes, and winding paths.
The style emerged in 18th-century England as a reaction against geometric French gardens: The estate's landscape gardens were modeled on Capability Brown's designs.
The term describes both the gardens themselves and the aesthetic tradition.
