Famous gardens of the world are often found adjacent to the estates of the
magnates. Fortunately for us these pleasure gardens are often open to the
public.
Typically laid out in the Andr� Le N�tre (1613-1700) formal
style these gardens have geometrically crisscrossing paths radiating from a
central axis with spectacular displays of exotics carefully planned to ensure
blossoms of complementary colors. Some more recent famous gardens carry
the signature of William Kent (1684-1748) whose style includes the removal of
high walls surrounding the perimeter and replacing them with "haha's";
the overall effect of these gardens is to appear as natural extensions of the
surrounding countryside.
