The English garden

There are many different styles of gardening, and each has its own distinctive look. Types of plant species, the shape of the landscape, statues, and other elements all come together to signify the differences between gardens. The English garden has its own very unique style, which first became a part of British gardening in the early 18^th century. This gardening style swept Europe, and quickly replaced its predecessor, the French-style garden. Whether it was part of the legend of castles and kings, or just a beautiful addition to a private citizen's home, the English garden has captured the hearts of people all over the world. Lush greenery and colorful flowers along with fascinating statues and architecture make this gardening style so special and delightful for gardening enthusiasts. With time, the English garden has become one of the most widely recognized garden types, regardless of what part of the world the garden is in.
