2. • A brief history of gardens in the Islamic world
Islamic gardening is an exceptionally old art
form, beginning in the 7th century and
originating from the deserts of the Middle East.
The philosophy behind Islamic gardens is to
create an earthly paradise for all and to
appreciate human connection with nature.
Nature is celebrated in the exquisite geometric
shapes, lavish water features, and vibrant colors
of traditional Islamic gardens.

3. • A brief history of gardens in France
gardens range from breathtakingly grand to
wonderfully quaint. French designers combine the
avant-garde style of contemporary gardens with the
classic French elegance of traditional gardens. With
its perfect balance of art and nature, French gardens
are some of the most beautiful in the world.

4. • A comparison of Islamic and French gardens
Two distinct landscapes of gardens, yet both possessing their own
signature beauty and captivating charms; Islamic and French
gardens offer an interesting contrast to one another: French
gardens are typically lush, symmetrical and precise, while Islamic
gardens contain intricate water features, asymmetrical pathways
and open courtyards. These gardens have an impressive history and
serve as a cultural bridge between two vastly different worlds.
• The elements of an Islamic garden
An Islamic garden has several unique elements, many of which
draw from its rich heritage. The gardens make use of geometrical
patterns, water features, low walls, natural elements (such as
plants, trees and rocks), pathways, and open courtyards. The
ultimate aim is to provide an area of tranquility, beauty, and
reflection

5. • The elements of a French garden
French gardens are about bringing a sense of harmony
between nature and architecture. These gardens
typically feature more plants and trees, curved
pathways, landscaped grass lawns and hedges, stone
sculptures and water features such as ponds and
fountains. The result is a beautiful landscape, with
every element carefully thought out and styled for
maximum effect.

6. • The benefits of French gardens
French gardens bring a certain charm to the
environment, with extravagant ornaments,
sophisticated layouts and intricate designs. They also
have a wide variety of features, ranging from visually
pleasing ponds, to perfectly groomed hedge mazes,
and represent a physical embodiment of the ideals of
'form follows function'. French gardens are a treat for
the eyes and enhance the landscape, resulting in a
harmonious balance between the built environment
and nature.
