The first regular gardens appeared during classic baroque. They were based on luxury, abundance and entertaining education. Gardens were supposed to cause admiration and surprise the variety of undertaking. There was a fashion for various mechanical “toys” in the gardens – spinning statues, moving animals, greenhouses with rare plants and animal animals.
In their structure, regular gardens resembled green rooms, which was especially characteristic of Italian gardens with their hot Mediterranean climate.
Until the end of the 16th century, gardens did not differ in large sizes. They were used more for entertainment and rest in the fresh air than for walking. The alleys were short and narrow and served only as the transitions between the “rooms”. By the way, if your sons grow, the design of the room for the boy made in the same green style, would perfectly emphasize the proximity to nature. Because the house, as a rule, was on the central axis of the site and occupied the dominant position. The gardens consisted of thick plantings of trees and shrubs, so they looked closed and hid from curious eyes. Figure columns, sculptures and vases were used to decorate the garden for decorating the garden.
By the end of the 17th century, the gardens became larger in area, and in addition, their layout has changed. The alleys became a self -sufficient element of the landscape, that is, not just connected the “green rooms”, but connected them into anfilad and organized movement in the direction of the most interesting objects.
The heyday of baroque gardens is associated with the development of topiary art, which arose even in the time of ancient Rome. Cutting plants acquired the most incredible configurations: the shape of columns and sculptures, figures of exotic birds, etc.D.All natural objects in importance in the regular garden are located in the following order: relief – stones – water bodies – vegetation.
The architecture of such gardens is emphasized by a contrasting relief, paved slabs, paths and sites, a variety of stone structures (sculptures, stairs, grottoes, balustrades, etc.).
An important element is decorative reservoirs, fountains and cascades.
Plant compositions are represented by lawns, flower beds, borders, etc.p. For their design, both pastel and bright tones can be used, which depends on desire and taste. For lovers of simplicity, olives, citrus trees and grapes, as well as pistachios and strawberry trees are suitable. If you want bright colors, then you can decorate the garden with fiery red colors of pelargonium, pink oleander, etc.
Tripted bushes and hedges will also be appropriate in such a garden.
