Hallmarks of French GardensThe geometric landscape movement was characterized by : Outward facing views to the horizonClipped geometric forms of plant materialsFlat planes of terraced landFormal water bodies &  canalsMan’s dominance of the land
Hallmarks of French GardensHowever, one cannot characterize French gardens just in these ways…particularly since new ideas from artists and owners from abroad  add fresh fuel to the canvas of nature.Giverney, Chamont’s Garden Festival and the gardens at Moitier remind us to think “out of the box” while reaching to the past for inspiration.
Trademarks of French GardensMost French gardens illustrate a continuum of layers of garden design…most notably in our studies at Villandry where there is 16th c  chateau and formal kitchen gardens plus a formal water garden.Fountainbleau & Vaux le Vicomteare considered to be pure forms of geometric period landscapes

Influential works of art by Claude Lorraine & Nicholas Poisson (mid 1600’s) featured mythological subjects from the Roman countryside… wild green theatres of the imagination. The visitor to an Enlightened Landscape would meditate and tell his own story by being in stage sets filled with allusions.

Gardens of EnglandGardens in England today, like those of France and Italy, are often overlays of several landscape movements. Rousham, Stowe and Castle Howard represent “pure” evocations of the Picturesque Landscape movement. There are many, earlier gardens designed in the geometric tradition which clearly embrace  French & Italian influences.
Gardens of EnglandThe effect of the National Trust in England and private landowners in opening their gardens to the public  has had a profound impact on landscape preservation worldwide by educating visitors in the interpretation of  landscape continuums and preservation  methods.
