Formal garden

Its origin goes back to the gardens which are located in the desert areas of Western Asia[1] and are protected by walls.

A typical feature of formal gardens is the axial and symmetrical arrangement of pathways and beds.

The center of the garden is often accentuated by a round, oval or square structural element, which is usually made of dimension stone.

At the end of these axes, eye-catching elements, such as sculptures, ornamental ponds, fountains, planters or seating accommodation can be found.

However, formal gardens that contain these elements lose their simplistic design in part and are no longer easy to care for.
