 HISTORY OF ANCIENT
GREEK GARDENS
⊷ Landscape design of ancient Greece (VI
B.C. - IV A.D.) was in essence garden
design. The presence of a good
combination of utilitarian, religious and
aesthetical features was typical to the
gardens of the time.
⊷ Greeks originally had characteristic
tendency towards harmony with nature,
use of a relief as by topographical
component and the landscaping design of
ancient Greece was characterized by
considerably freer planning and structure
of composition.

 HISTORY OF ANCIENT
GREEK GARDENS
⊷ Greeks learned to harmoniously combine
the construction of cities with the natural
landscape, mutually supplementing each
other. Gardens and parks became similar
to living organisms, which have a close
connection with the natural environment
and man. Acropolises, theatres, forums,
squares, seemingly grow from nature,
harmonizing and merging with the
surrounding landscape.

 PRINCIPLES AND
CHARACTERESTICS
⊷ In the landscaping construction of ancient
Greece a strict symmetry predominated.
Alleys and parks were decorated with
fountains, columns, vases, sculptures.
⊷ stepped gardens were also built, on which
fountains were arranged and flowers and
trees were planted. The Hellenic garden
had many components: massive amounts
of plants, spiral staircases and many
decorations
⊷ Greek landscape dictated a pre-defined
course through the built and unbuilt,
environment, which was perceived as an
inseparable unity.

 PRINCIPLES AND
CHARACTERESTICS
⊷ Hardy plants, protective walls, and shaded
patios are ubiquitous
⊷ In smaller villages, there was no tradition for a
home to have a backyard, there was no soil
even, The place that people had when they
went outside was the street.
⊷ They had to put pots with plants in the street.
That's a typical garden."
⊷ A neutral backdrop. If you have hot summers,
whitewashed walls and light-colored stone
facades function as effective scrims to reflect
the sun's heat and create a serene structure for
a garden.
⊷ An accent of bright color.

 SACRED GROVES
⊷ The religious gardens were
of two varieties: the
cultivable type, which
could be rented out while
also being a pleasant
gathering place, and the
rustic shrine, where
statuary and trees
coexisted; a subspecies of
this latter type consisted of
natural grottoes
embellished by rock-cut
sculpture, votive offerings
and at times.

23
 Herron
⊷ the memorial garden - grove,
planted on the spot of the burial
of a hero. Gardens had a
racetrack, a hippodrome, an
area for gymnastic games and
competition in the memory of
heroes. With time Herrons began
to be decorated with statues
and colonnades which became
the accents of parks. In the
majority of cases Herrons had a
memorial nature, they were
made with the process of the
creation of different architectural
structures and forests. Over time
these sacred groves ceased to
bear a memorial nature and
became sports parks.

 PLEASURE GARDENS
⊷ The pleasure gardens
like those of the Persian's
– appeared after
Alexander of Macedon
victoriously marched into
Persia (336-323 B.C)

25
 OTHER TYPES OF GARDENS
⊷ The public garden was located in the main
area of the city near temples and fountains.
⊷ The private gardens of prosperous owners most
frequently bore an exceptionally utilitarian
nature.
⊷ Nymph sacred oak, cedar or olive grove
located in center of an artistic water source or
grotto with a regular planning style. Over time
new decorations such as columns and
sculptures appeared and enriched the nymphs.
These places were thought to be inhabited by
gods, nymphs and muses, because of this
people brought sacrifices here. The flow of
water, which fell into the pond, was the
prototype of the water features in the parks of
Western Europe.
