ENGLISH GARDEN NOWADAYS

The landscape art of England was born a lot of landscape gardening styles. For the most part, these are regular palace and castle parks, English landscape parks, eclecticism, Victorian gardens and the “new natural style” or garden cottage.

Aristocratic parks are pompous castle gardens that include the techniques of Chinese gardeners and exotic plants. At the same time, rural gardening was developing in parallel. It was more practical, and the garden was created to improve the quality of life of the whole family. If in the aristocratic garden the pond was a decorative element, then in the rural English garden water was taken from it for irrigation. Regarding plants, we can say that the rural garden could please vegetables and aromatic herbs used in cooking, home cosmetics, the preparation of medicinal decoctions or infusions, dyes for fabrics, and also plants for bouquets.

His philosophy is that it was created for pleasure, not slave labor. Of course, it must be watered in dry weather, fed, sprayed with drugs from different infections, if they appeared or were noticed in tiny amounts. “Supervision” of the cottage garden is reduced to the taming of aggressive plants and easy weeding self-seeding.
