Learning on ScreenEnglish Garden, The. Part 2: A Pattern for Pleasure (1660-1725)
- Synopsis
- Looks at the influence of Dutch, French and Italian styles after the Restoration. Walls of trees and hedges became the vogue as did the use of statues and terracing. There was much interest in exotic plants and flowers; the first nursery garden and the development of the parterre took place at this time. Concludes that 65 years after the Restoration, the English garden began to reflect a richer and more open way of life and that by the time of Queen Anne, formal gardening had reached its height.
