Tapis vert, meaning literally a "green carpet", was first coined in the garden at Versailles in 1680 where André Le Nôtre used a mown grass strip punctuated by urns and statues to divide the main axis, the Allée Royale. This became a template for other grand schemes, including George Washington's plan for the landscaping of independent America's new capital. The term tapis vert has come to embrace a wider meaning, encompassing any area of lawn cut in a regular shape. It is also used to describe areas mown at various heights to produce patterns and it is here that the lawn could enjoy a degree of reinvention, assisted by advances in technology-most mowers can be adjusted by the flick of a lever to give various cutting heights. In areas of a modest size, rotary mowers would be ideal for this purpose.  2, record 1, English, - green%20carpet

La période classique introduisit dans les parcs, le tapis vert, pelouse très plate, sobre et peu décorée, généralement en forme de rectangle très allongé, transversalement horizontale mais acceptant très bien une pente longitudinale. On en garnissait le centre des perspectives monumentales. Le tapis vert de Versailles est un modèle du genre.  5, record 1, French, - tapis%20vert

Lay down a carpet bed-No Victorian garden would be complete without carpet bedding. In keeping with the outdoor room concept, these bright, tapestry like flower beds were the Persian rugs of the Victorian garden. Gardeners started decorating lawns early in the Victorian era in single-color geometric beds.  3, record 2, English, - carpet%20bedding

Thouin created promenades for recreation which are seen in Paris to this day at the "Parc Montsouris" and the "Buttes-Chaumont". He elaborated the use of lowgrowing plants in flower beds known as carpet bedding (or mosaiculture).  4, record 2, English, - carpet%20bedding

Dans les jardins irréguliers, dits «paysagers», on utilisait au siècle dernier la corbeille, dérivée de formes géométriques courbes (ovale, ove, rond, croissant, etc.), dont le profil était bombé et s'associait au vallonnement des pelouses. La forme des corbeilles était en harmonie avec la courbe des allées. On installait à l'intérieur de cette corbeille un dessin géométrique plus ou moins compliqué et l'on traitait chaque élément du dessin avec des plantes différentes : c'était la mosaïculture. Cette mode fut très répandue à la fin du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle.  3, record 2, French, - mosa%C3%AFculture

A green carpet of garden runs from the main gateway to the foot of the Taj. In essence, it is a Persian garden, a from born and nursed to maturity in the desert flat of Persia. Such gardens were introduced to India by Baber, the first mughal emperor, who also brought with him the Persian infatuation with flowers and fruit, birds and leaves, symmetry and delicacy. Unlike other Oriental gardens-especially those of the Japanese, who learned to accentuate existing resources rather than formalise them-the Persian garden was artificially contrived, unbashedly man-made, based on geometric arrangements of nature without any attempt at a "natural" look.  1, record 3, English, - Persian%20garden

A l'intersection des deux axes s'élève tantôt le palais, tantôt un pavillon, et tantôt s'étend une fontaine aux motifs parfois très complexes.  1, record 3, French, - jardin%20perse
