topiary garden

Shaped hedge display

A topiary garden features trees and shrubs trimmed into ornamental shapes—geometric forms, animals, spirals, or abstract designs.

The art requires years of patient pruning and training, often with wire frames guiding growth.

The estate's topiary garden included hedges shaped like chess pieces.

Such gardens range from formal European estates to whimsical backyard displays.
