ABSTRACT
Gardens are places where Man can enjoy all of the advantages of country life, all of the amenities of the seasons in comfort and tranquillity. All of the advantages and pleasures that Nature affords her sensible friend can be found within the precincts of an extensive and well laid out garden. Indeed, these advantages and delights are heightened and multiplied here to the degree that reason and taste endeavour to elevate a garden, through the charms of cultivation, above a place left to its own devices.1
