Tudor Knot Garden

A geometric garden in front of a mansion. Low boxwood hedges are trimmed into intertwining ribbon patterns, enclosing small sections filled with different colored gravel or a single type of herb; surrounded by gravel paths and trimmed hedges. The pattern is most complete when viewed from an upstairs window. Avoid: making the garden a free-form English border, hedges taller than knee height obscuring the pattern, mixing multiple plant species in the sections, removing the surrounding borders allowing the pattern to spread out.

宅邸前的一片幾何花園。低矮的黃楊綠籬修剪成互相穿越的緞帶圖案,圍出的小區塊裡填著色彩不同的碎石或單一種類的香草;四周是碎石步道與修剪的樹籬。從樓上的窗看下去圖案最完整。避免:把花園做成自由式的英式花境、綠籬高過膝蓋遮住圖案、區塊裡混種多種植物、拿掉四周的圍邊讓圖案散開。
