3. Domestic: Plant Landscape Design of the Summer Palace


1. Stone Garden of Yiyun Pavilion in the Summer Palace

The clever use of blue bricks, green trees, strange rocks and plants, and classical garden modeling elements makes the scenic spot profound.


2. Lotus Pond in the Garden of Harmony and Fun in the Summer Palace

The water surface is rippling with green waves, and willows are luxuriantly hanging by the pond. Willows planted by the waterside are not only beautiful in shape, but their reflection in the water is also an important landscaping element in the garden waterscape.


3. The Garden of Harmony and Fun in the Summer Palace

The lotus not only has a transcendental significance to humans, it is also widely used in the creation of waterscapes; its advantages also lie in its graceful leaf shape and the soundscape created by rain hitting the lotus leaves.


4. Tower of Buddhist Incense, Summer Palace

The arrangement of plants around large buildings nestled in the mountains and beside the water also requires a large amount of effort. The lush and green mountains first provide the base for the entire picture, and then the buildings are used to embellish it, giving the scenery a very good effect.


5. A tour through the Summer Palace

The water surface is like a mirror, the mountains are lush and green, and the mountains and water complement each other; the buildings in the forest are carved with beams and painted with rafters, and walking among them, you will feel the fullness of the forest and rivers.


6. Stay at Yunyan in the Summer Palace

Tall trees line the road, and the intersection of sight in the swaying shadows points directly to the main building. The use of street trees here not only sets off the atmosphere, but also guides the sight.


7. Zhiyu Bridge in the Garden of Harmony and Fun in the Summer Palace

The stone bridge crosses the water, and the appearance of lotus in the gurgling water softens the "stalemate" between the bridge and the water, one soft and one hard, one static and one dynamic, making the whole picture harmonious.


8. Winter in the Summer Palace - Baoyun Pavilion

As the seasons change, the landscapes of different seasons vary. In the winter in the north, all trees wither, so the use of evergreen species and the creation of snow scenes are particularly important.

5. Abroad: British garden plant landscape design


1. Stowe Park

The landscape of sparse woods and grasslands makes the entire garden seamless, expanding the visual range and sense of space.

The solitary big tree, set against the backdrop of the natural dense forest, makes the whole picture more poetic. This is a typical picture of British natural scenery.

The use of gently sloping lawns and natural green woods makes the white marble building stand out.


2. Stourhead Park

The lakeshore has beautiful scenery, with grass extending directly into the water. Against the backdrop of the varied dark green woods on the skyline, there are dotted low shrubs in red, yellow, purple, and white. Swans are cruising on the lake, creating a colorful picture.

With dense forests as its background, there are rhododendrons of various colors on both sides of the white Flower Temple. The white building is hidden among the flowers, and its reflection in the water forms a touching picture.

The solitary tree on the small island in the lake becomes the visual focus of the entire park. Plants of different seasons and species are used as the background. Walking along the lakeside road, the scenery on the island and the opposite bank keeps changing, achieving the effect of different scenery with every step.

The open grassland near the lake slowly extends into the lake, with dense forest in the background and various flowering plants and small trees in the foreground that shade the white building.

The Temple of Apollo is located on a high ground, surrounded by trees on three sides, with a sloping grassland in front that stretches all the way to the lakeshore. The grassland on the shore is flat and has clumps of trees on it. From the opposite bank, the Temple of Apollo seems to be standing above the sea of ​​trees.

Rhododendrons of different heights and colors are dazzling, and various colorful leaf trees make the garden scenery more colorful.


3、邱园(Royal Botanic Gardens,Kew)

The arrangement of trees in Kew Gardens is scientifically classified and creates a beautiful landscape effect. People can learn about botany and indulge in artistic enjoyment here.

The natural pond next to the palm greenhouse has a gentle slope formed by the grass between the road and the water surface, which gradually extends into the water. There are clumps of wetland and marsh plants extending from the roadside into the water. In these places, it is difficult to perceive the obvious boundary between the pond and the shore.

Large areas of neatly trimmed boxwood paving and a slightly elevated metal pavilion showcase the gardens of the Elizabethan era.

The ancient trees with beautiful and full crowns are witnesses to Kew Gardens’ history. Some large trees are directly connected to the grassland, while others are dotted with colorful shrubs in front of them, forming grassland spaces of different sizes, and on the grassland stand graceful solitary trees.


4. Nymans Park

Naturally arranged plants create a natural and rustic path that leads visitors to the observation deck on the top of the hill.

The plants on the top of the hill are clearly divided into primary and secondary plants with rich layers.

The flowering shrub landscape around the pool, mainly maple trees and rhododendrons, is rich in layers, colorful, and well-managed.

The lawn slope protection and flat vegetation are naturally connected with the water surface.

The well-arranged natural trees make the whole space full of natural interest.


6. Abroad: French garden plant landscape design


1. The Gardens of the Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte

The embroidered flower bed, with purple-red brick as the background, sets off the boxwood pattern very delicate and clear, with strong color contrast. The corners of the flower bed are dotted with neat yew and various vase decorations. The large area of ​​the flower bed is in harmony with the proportions of the mansion building and the entire garden.

Autumn scenery in the garden. The green shaped plants and lawns contrast sharply with the golden elm hedges and background trees, while the water, stones and plants are very harmonious and rhythmic.

The closed forest garden forms a strong contrast with the open garden. The tall trees form the background of the garden and the space extending to the south. The landscape of the formal garden is often more varied when viewed from the side.


2. Le Jardin du Chateau de Versailles

Looking west from the water flower bed, there are dense forests on both sides of the central axis. The tall trees are neatly trimmed, which enhances the three-dimensional sense and spatial changes of the central axis.

On both sides of the King's Avenue are tall European horse chestnut trees, which are in harmonious proportion with the wide avenue and set off the elegance and simplicity of the marble statues and vase ornaments placed under the trees.

The South flower bed is a large, low embroidery flower bed, forming an open space, which contrasts with the North flower bed at the north end, showing the technique of seeking change in unity.

The potted subtropical plants in the new citrus orchard create a strong exotic atmosphere, while the lush forested hills and the Swiss Lake in the distance form an open, outward-looking space with lake and mountain scenery as the main theme.

The North Flower Bed uses tall trees to form an enclosed inward space, surrounded by palaces and gardens, and is very quiet.

The Waterlight Boulevard is a ramp that crosses the forest garden. The dark and narrow space formed by the tall and dense trees on both sides makes the Neptune Spring, which is not very large in itself, look very spectacular.


3. Le Jardin du Chateau de Fontainebleau

A large number of sycamore trees and larch trees are planted in Diana Garden, making the garden appear quiet, deep and full of wildness.

The Tiber Flower Bed is a huge square flower bed that uses boxwood hedge patterns, large lawns and shaped plants to create a far-reaching sight and a vast spatial effect. It is the most prominent landscape of the Fontainebleau Palace.


4. Seals (Seals)

There is a wide boulevard formed by neatly trimmed trees, which extends all the way to the city's main road and serves as the city's landscape green belt.

In the middle of the wide road west of the large pond is a large green carpet-like lawn, just like the King's Avenue in Versailles, except that there are neatly arranged conical yew trees on both sides, and the view along the road is broad and far-reaching.

The tall and neatly arranged tower-shaped trees form a landscape axis running through the north and south, making the entire Grand Canal look even more magnificent and giving the entire So Garden an imposing appearance.

The neatly trimmed tree wall makes the entire waterscape more spacious and layered. The scenery is magnificent, immersive and exciting.

Shaped trees form the frame of the entire small space, and pleasant lawn and flower beds form an enclosed and intimate resting place.

Towering Italian poplars are planted on both sides of the canal. Their tall and straight posture forms a sharp contrast with the horizontal plane. Coupled with the surging and spectacular waterfalls, the waterscape is both dynamic and static, leaving a deep impression on people.


5. Gardens of the Het Loo Palace, Netherlands

The Queen's Garden is arranged in a grid-shaped green arch and has the characteristics of a private garden. "Feminine" flowers such as lilies and aquilegia are planted in the garden to symbolize the Virgin Mary.

As an international figure in the history of modern sculpture, Noguchi tried to combine sculpture and landscape design early on. He believed that the artist's contact with the land could free him from his dependence on industrial products and gain inspiration for artistic creation, which is also one of the reasons why he prefers stone carving and landscape design. Noguchi advocates the social purpose of artists - not to create for the collection of museums, but for the pleasure of the public, to make life more meaningful, more valuable and richer. This may be the inherent reason for his involvement in the field of public environment. As an artist who crosses national boundaries, Noguchi is at the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures, and his works have built a bridge between Japan and the West. He fully expresses the essence of Japanese culture in Western modern design, and at the same time, he has contributed to the adaptation of Japanese landscape design to the development of the times.
