Landscaping And Gardening Treasures

Wherever you may go in your travels, you are sure to find plenty of landscapes and gardens that are a delight for body, mind and spirit

. You cannot help but be in awe when you think that a common and far from extraordinary site can be developed into something so spectacular. In China, for example, you can find the Suzhou Garden which was fashioned in the classical style that fairly illustrates the harmonious balance typical of this country. It shows something unique, even in a confined location. The country's gardening techniques are all from various aspects of art, such as sculpture, painting, philosophy, and the like. Gardens in China are considered historical and tourist treasures, as a result of these artistic influences.

The artistic qualities of the Suzhou Garden are a testimony of the Chinese people's traditions and values. Not only does this Souzhou Garden enchant its visitors, but it has brought great benefits to the country itself, attracting tourists from everywhere. The four areas of The Suzhou garden have different structures and louts that represent various dynasties such as the Song and Ming Dynasty. Flowers, trees, hillocks, terraces, towers and ponds are brought together to create a gorgeous site.

Turning your attention to England, you will find the renowned Buscot Park. You can see an 18th century classical house that is surrounded by beautiful landscapes and eye-catching gardening style. A relaxing 20th century water garden will surely make you forget life's twists and turns, as it has classical bridges and canals. There is actually more than just one garden in the Buscot grounds. The earliest ones were built when the house was almost finished. These had English inspired features with a 20-acre lake as its most prominent feature. To further enhance the park's overall look, a classical looking bridge was added unto the far end of it; this served as the area's focal point.

Many tourists find themselves quite taken with the water gardens so representative of the English gardening style. The typical sloping lawn is the original creation of Harold Peto, famous architect and garden designer in the 19th century. This renowned 19th century architect and garden designer was vastly influenced by the Italian Renaissance in all his landscaping projects. Joint terraces, small canals and footbridges were among his most prominent landscaping features. Adjacent to these small canals you will find garden rooms separated by hedges that are constantly trimmed.

As soon as you set foot in Buscot Park you are sure to find a sense of calm and serenity. You might think that the said canals show of formal scenery, but with all the green surrounding the area; it is just perfect to the eye. Ornaments are also something special in this garden and you can see them just about everywhere. It is generally thought that a great contribution in making this gardening style unique was the rich use of colorful flowers and hedges.
