7 wonders of the wall

For centuries, human hands have shaped gardens for cultivation, recreation and contemplation - in styles ranging from the great formal gardens of the Moors of Al-Andalus to the pastoral English landscape gardens of Jane Austen’s novelas.

The word ‘garden’ comes from the German garten, in Latin hortus concluses, whose original meaning is enclosed garden.

Usually, a garden brings to mind the open space next to a structure, but it can really be anything from estate grounds to flower pots on a terrace.
