Romanticism, Victorian Gardens and Music

Gardenvisit.com History Homepage

The amazing opportunities for learning about the nature of the world led to a romantic and eclectic thirst for exotic materials, plants and design ideas, from British history and from overseas. Gardens were made with:

• ironwork, urns and statues, 

• terraces, lakes, glass houses, 

• winter gardens and conservatories, 

• walled vegetable gardens, exotic plants, 

• compartments, buildings etc, rosaries, specimen trees, 

• woodland gardens, rockeries,

• transitions from Beautiful to Picturesque to Sublime
