Running head: GARDENS 1 The Flower & Japenese Styles of Gardens: Notes Student Name Institution Affiliation GARDEN 2 The Country Garden: Notes The country garden is one of the best places that people can spend their summer afternoons as children play and dogs can run around in a peaceful serenity full of fresh air and mowed green grass and dazzling flowers all over the garden. In all the history of styles, the country garden is the most humble, offering a great environment for the people and plants that blossom amidst the summer season (Hepburn, 2019). It is a soft, gentle, and romantic garden complete with powerful flower scents and lawns that touch uniquely neat. It is the human's first garden to feed himself with its bounty due to the soil life-sustaining throughout the years. The country garden's relationship is closest that of the native American Indian to its plain where cultivation has been a noble act attended by reverence to sun, rain, and soil. Creating and maintaining a country garden is more than just horticulture and decoration. It is a matter of farming that includes the conservation of natural plants that are even considered a weed. In America, the democratic idea is expressed in the country garden where every plant has an equal place. Ryan's garden designer indicates that the country garden is a unique representation of personality and the desire to put it into action with soft ideas on nurturing the plants (Hepburn, 2019). For him, taking care of the garden is a childhood dream come true. Since medieval times the garden has been an expression of farmer and forester life and a test of how to live on land. The country garden historical details vary from one country to another. In England were designed to offer enclosure and harmony for its people, and in France, they were made to give vegetables, fruits, and flowers that weren't for home use but rather for the glory of God in church and shrines. The 19th-century artists' discovery changed the whole idea of country gardens by encompassing nature into paintings. In South of Rome, 600 years ago, the town suffered Malaria and violent religious struggles that brought the town to ruins GARDEN 3 (Hepburn, 2019). In 1922, it was rescued by an Italian prince of the Titani family and turned into one of the world's most beautiful gardens. When the prince died in 1935, the art of gardening was continued by his sister in law. She passionately nurtured the garden with fruits, vegetables, and petaled flowers, all blossoming to heal the once destroyed city. Today, country gardens' culture is practiced to provide peace, privacy, and a sense of romance entangled within nature. Flower Gardens: Notes As the expression says, happiness is for those who hold flowers in both hands; flowers satisfy our craving for color, texture, scent, and sentiment. Throughout history, the flowers' symbolism was well understood to represent hope, sadness, romance, remembrance, and even art. According to Sir Francis Bacon, the breath of flowers is far sweeter, where it comes and goes like the waggling of music. According to a gardener and renowned author, Pamela, and a curator of the Trust garden in Tidenham, gardening is an art and doesn’t need any prior planning. William Robinson was the great reformer of the English flower gardens by removing the ornamental Victorian flower garden from its unnatural stature to allowing flowers to grow and blossom all year round (Hepburn, 2020a). He convinced the gardeners around the globe that gardens can be more blossoming even without the blue flowers. Gertrude Jacob, a contemporary of Robinson, was more inspired and inspired modern gardeners through her designs and writings. She invented the blending of wild and formal gardening styles with marigold, jasmine, and fine yielding capsicums, all for the beauty. Japanese Styles of Gardening: Notes The Japanese styles of gardening are still being modernized, but the old ones are still in practice. Each layer of the gardening history symbolizes the cultural and spiritual legacy GARDEN 4 that has unfolded through centuries. Between the 15th and 19th centuries, during internal wars and social crises in Japan, nature was left into ruins and scattered that no longer brought a sense of life to the surroundings. Sai Hu Jing was one of the first paradise gardens created in Japan surrounded by temples and represented a place in the heaven of intense contemplation. Today, it is known as the Moss Temple due to the vast growth of blossoming moss plants that strike ambiance (Hepburn, 2020b). The Japanese gardens are more spiritual and symbolize silence, serenity, and contemplation. On the East side of Japan is a temple that is purely made of gravel that was naturally gathered by the whirling waves and waterfalls of the Great Sea. East is a flower garden that entrenches the free flow that symbolizes the broadening of the human understanding following trials and hardships, with beautifully shaped treasure ship stone that upholds riches of experience. Here, gardeners come to care for and clean trees and rocks several times a year to keep them blossoming for spiritual continuity. GARDEN 5 Reference Hepburn, A., (2019).
