Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
CONT

Areas of turf, or lawn, provide the green expanse that links all other garden plantings together. They usually consist of grasses--thousands to the square metre--kept shorn close to the ground to provide a green carpet.

OBS

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.

To help turn Colonial Williamsburg into a collection of "green garden rooms, "architects used the subtle palette of evergreens, including edging boxwood, tree boxwood, bayberry, native yaupon holly, and the prickly American holly. The variations in their greens and their lusters contribute to the subtle combination of color and texture seen here at the Greenhow Tenement.

Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
CONT

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.
