Top 10 Gardens in the World...lets go there with me
start Count Down...
A garden is a planned out space specifically for plants and other forms
of nature. They are usually set outdoors and can have man-made and
natural materials. Gardens are a great place to relax and have some nice
family time. You could even hang out with your friends or plan a
picnic. I am very fond of gardens and even though I have not had many
chances to visit the following, I would really love to. This particular
list talks about the top ten gardens in the world. Be sure to visit the
whenever you are in the area, I know I will. Enjoy the read!
10. RYOAN-JI
Ryaon-Ji is a temple in Japan and it is famous for the Zen Garden. It
is considered to be one of the best examples of dry-landscape style. It
is also considered as the only greatest piece of Japanese culture. The
temple is surrounded by low walls and it is unknown exactly who laid the
garden out. There is a stone washbasin behind the garden. It is called
Tsukubai and is said to be a gift from Tokugawa Mitsukuni in the
seventeenth century. It bears an inscription; ‘I learn only to be
contented’.
9. MINNEAPOLIS SCULPTURE GARDEN
This garden is one of the best landmarks in Minnesota, United States.
Claes Oldenburg and his wife Coosje van Bruggen were asked to design a
fountain-sculpture for this particular garden. If you are aware with his
style, he uses a spoon in many of his sculptures and that spoon
appeared in a huge size in this particular design. It was the theme of
the entire garden. He topped the spoon off with a cherry on top
literally. The cherry comes from the dining etiquette of Louis XIV and
that is what the cherry imposes.
