Garden design in England was entirely reinvented during the 18th-century. The strictly symmetrical gardens of the French Baroque were replaced by artificial landscapes which soon became almost indistinguishable from natural scenery.
Every garden is an imagined paradise - a garden paradise that incorporates the personality of the individual who created it, but also the long history of horticulture. Although the famous and influential gardens often needed extensive funds for their creation, gardens are not designed for the privileged of this world.
