Hello World! Welcome Friends! Some of us have green thumb dreams of having the best garden on the block. Other people love walking a path with nature and arriving at something beautiful at the end of the day. Often the best inspiration for doing just that is lovely botanical gardens. Here is a list of the 11 best gardens to be inspired by.
Moorten Botanical Garden, Palm Springs; California
Moorten Botanical Gardens in California has a unique view on gardening. They primarily use Desert/cactus gardens, with their stark beauty, which is a way of gardening often found in hot and dry regions. Succulents, desert grasses, aloes, agaves, and floral bromeliads are among the plants depicted. This garden style is excellent for folks who do not have green thumbs or travel frequently and is a reasonably low-maintenance undertaking.
Villa Lante; Italy
The first Mannerism gardens appeared in Europe in the 15th century. They’re classical and exquisite, with exotic decorations and strange references – almost theatrical. The mannerist garden, which has influenced garden designs throughout the Mediterranean, is organized and formal yet contains a sense of playfulness. In Italy, there is an almost perfect depiction of such a garden in Bagania, Viterbo, called the Villa Lante.
Heathcote Botanical Gardens; Florida
Created and nurtured by James J Smith, a whole section in Heathcote Botanicals Gardens is dedicated to growing Bonsai trees. The art of bonsai originated in China, the term loosely translates to “tree in a pot” in Japanese. In terms of symbolism, a Bonsai Garden might signify harmony and balance, or it can be viewed as a meditation practice for achieving inner peace.
Singapore Botanical Gardens
Singapore is one of the few places with a Botanical Garden that has been around long enough to be a UNESCO world heritage site. This 163-year-old tropical garden has spectacular water features and consists of a water garden.
A water garden is a beautiful and calming landscape feature that contains aquatic plants and occasionally fish. You can create small, delicate cascading waterfalls and pools in ceramic bowls on a patio. If you enjoy the style, you may even go large and install a full-size koi pond.
Zakir Hussain Rose Garden; India
The famous rose, among the most beautiful flowers globally, has been nurtured by humans for 5,000 years. Zakir Hussain has the largest Rose Garden globally, coming in at about 30 acres of land, with 50 000 bushes and over 1 800 varieties.
When you use roses in your garden, they may be welcoming and relevant, while they are sometimes perceived as formal and stuffy. They’re also a treat for the senses, with many people finding their aroma overpowering.
Hortus Botanicus; Amsterdam
This is one of the oldest Botanical Gardens globally and contains more than 4 000 species. Apart from this, the garden is unique because it is beautiful during winter—also known as a winter garden. The concept is straightforward: A winter garden features robust plants that can withstand the worst weather conditions. To include this in your garden, look for evergreen shrubs and flowering plants that will feed wildlife or emit scent even in sub-zero temperatures.
Desert Botanical Garden; Arizona
The Butterfly Pavilion is a lovely addition to the botanical gardens in Phoenix. Since 2002, the Butterfly Pavilion at the Desert Botanical Garden has given interactive opportunities for visitors to see all phases of a butterfly’s development and learn about the Sonoran Desert’s link between plants and insects. To make a butterfly garden, include rich flowering plants that attract butterflies, bees, and other plant-loving critters.
The Sunken Garden; Florida
The Sunken Garden is another unique garden that comes out in Florida. This garden is one of the oldest roadside tourist attractions in the United States. A sunken garden is appropriate for urban environments since it is located below ground level. Open grasslands, which make use of restricted space, provide the appearance of isolation and add a touch of mystique.
Ryan-Ji, Japan
The Zen Garden, which is heavily influenced by Far Eastern aesthetics and customs, is a symbolic portrayal of nature in both its earthly and spiritual forms. This Zen Garden is also called the Temple of the Dragon of peace. This Japanese-inspired garden’s most popular design feature is a shallow, chip-gravel pit that can be raked to make swirls and patterns, which corresponds to the Buddhist idea of tranquil contemplation. Zen monks employed this practice to help them concentrate by simulating waves or rippling water.”
Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden; Thailand
Depending on where you are, another style of gardening you can potentially add to your gardening gambit may be tropical, similar to Nong Nooch in Thailand. Creating a lush, tropical paradise includes plenty of vegetation, such as plants, trees, and bushes. Smaller ground-covering plants give luxuriance to the environment while bringing in the green and offering shade and solitude. Plants with diverse hues of green create depth, as do plants with varying heights and leaf forms.
Berlin Botanical Gardens; Germany
Germany is not classically known for its gardening, but install a greenhouse if you want to follow suit with what the creator Adolf Engler did. Almost the entire botanical garden is found inside a greenhouse. Greenhouses act as a barrier separating nature and what you’re cultivating, allowing growth seasons to be extended and may be improved. They protect against extreme cold or heat, as well as pests.
Suppose you are unsure what new feature to install in your garden. If you want to reignite your passion with something new, consider diving deeper into these beautiful botanical gardens and seeing if there is something that inspires you.
