“ ART IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS . HOWEVER NEW

CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CREATE
A WORK OF ART WITHOUT ANTECEDENTS. THE CHALLENGE OF
HISTORY IS NOT WHETHER IT SHOULD BE STUDIED, BUT RATHER

THE INTERPRETATION OF WHAT IS CONSTANT AND THEREFORE
ALIVE TODAY . ALL DESIGN THEREFORE DERIVES FROM
IMPRESSIONS OF THE PAST, CONSCIOUS OR SUBCONSCIOUS AND IN

GARDEN DESIGN IN HISTORY
•The history of gardening extends across at least 4,000 years of human civilization.
Egyptian tomb paintings of the 1500s BC are some of the earliest physical evidence of ornamental horticulture and landscape design; they depict lotus ponds surrounded by symmetrical rows of acacias and palms.
•Another ancient gardening tradition is of Persia: Darius the Great was said to have had a
"paradise garden" and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were renowned as a Wonder of the World.
•Persian gardens were also organized symmetrically, along a center line known as an axis.
