  • English Turf Labyrinths Jeff Saward
    English Turf Labyrinths Jeff Saward Turf labyrinths, or ‘turf mazes’ as they are popularly known in Britain, were once found throughout the British Isles (including a few examples in Wales, Scotland and Ireland), the old Germanic Empire (including modern Poland and the Czech Republic), Denmark (if the frequently encountered Trojaborg place-names are a reliable indicator) and southern Sweden. They are formed by cutting away the ground surface to leave turf ridges and shallow trenches, the convoluted pattern of which produces a single pathway, which leads to the centre of the design. Most were between 30 and 60 feet (9-18 metres) in diameter and usually circular, although square and other polygonal examples are known. The designs employed are a curious mixture of ancient classical types, found throughout the region, and the medieval types, found principally in England. Folklore and the scant contemporary records that survive suggest that they were once a popular feature of village fairs and other festivities. Many are found on village greens or commons, often near churches, but sometimes they are sited on hilltops and at other remote locations. By nature of their living medium, they soon become overgrown and lost if regular repair and re-cutting is not carried out, and in many towns and villages this was performed at regular intervals, often in connection with fairs or religious festivals. 50 or so examples are documented, and several hundred sites have been postulated from place-name evidence, but only eleven historic examples survive – eight in England and three in Germany – although recent replicas of former examples, at nearby locations, have been created at Kaufbeuren in Germany (2002) and Comberton in England (2007) for example.

  • Grow a Fence: Plant a Hedge
    GARDEN NOTES GROW A FENCE: PLANT A HEDGE By Dennis Hinkamp August 2002 Fall - 45 A hedge is defined as a “fence of bushes.” However, we use them for a variety of purposes, most commonly for privacy. Tall hedges range in height from five to ten feet tall, and can be informal or formal, which does not refer to their command of etiquette, quips Jerry Goodspeed, Utah State University Extension horticulturist. Informal hedges are easier to maintain, and are the softest, least rigid in appearance. Most only require annual pruning to remove the older canes. “A few of my favorite shrubs for informal hedges include red and gold twig dogwoods, lilacs, privets and honeysuckle,” he says. “These deciduous plants make a great screen for most of the year. They are also attractive and relatively quick-growing.” For those looking for an evergreen hedge, yews, arborvitae, mugo pines or even upright junipers provide year-round cover, but also come with some inherent problems, Goodspeed says. They are more difficult to prune and maintain and do not easily relinquish stray balls and Frisbees that enter their grasp. “Formal hedges require regular haircuts to keep them looking good, and they grab anything that meanders too close,” he explains. “The most important thing to remember when pruning or shearing a formal hedge is the shape. Keep the top surface smaller than the bottom so it almost resembles a flat-topped pyramid. Cutting the sides straight or forming the top wider than the bottom provides too much shade for the lower part of the plant.

  • Perhaps the Most Famous Maze in the World, the Hampton Court
    • Perhaps the most famous maze in the world, the Hampton Court Palace Maze was planted in hornbeam as part of the gardens of William III and Mary II in the late 17th century. The maze was most likely planted by royal gardeners George London and Henry Wise. • The maze was planted as part of a formal garden layout known as the ‘Wilderness’ (see below). There were at least two mazes originally planted in the Wilderness garden of which the current maze is the only survivor. It is the first hedge planted maze in Great Britain and now the only part remaining of the original ‘Wilderness’ area. • Hedge mazes flourished in Britain up to the eighteenth century, until Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown introduced natural landscaping and, in order to achieve his sweeping views, destroyed many formal garden features. Ironically, as Royal Gardener for twenty years, he lived next door to the Maze at Hampton Court, but was expressly ordered not to interfere with it! • The current maze hedge was established in the 1960s when the existing hedges (a mix of hornbeam, yew, holly and privet) were replanted with fast growing yew. In 2005 hornbeam was reintroduced to the centre of the maze for the first time in 40 years. The Gardens and Estate team will regularly assess how well the hornbeam stands up to modern day wear and tear by visitors giving us the opportunity to consider reintroducing hornbeam on a wider basis to the maze in the future. • The yew hedges are approximately 7' high and 3' wide. • It is the most visited attraction in the gardens with around 350,000 people going in and out of the maze every year.

  • Designing Parterres on the Main City Squares
    https://doi.org/10.24867/GRID-2020-p66 Professional paper DESIGNING PARTERRES ON THE MAIN CITY SQUARES Milena Lakićević , Ivona Simić , Radenka Kolarov University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Agriculture, Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Novi Sad, Serbia Abstract: A “parterre” is a word originating from the French, with the meaning interpreted as “on the ground”. Nowadays, this term is widely used in landscape architecture terminology and depicts a ground- level space covered by ornamental plant material. The designing parterres are generally limited to the central city zones and entrances to the valuable architectonic objects, such as government buildings, courts, museums, castles, villas, etc. There are several main types of parterres set up in France, during the period of baroque, and the most famous one is the parterre type “broderie” with the most advanced styling pattern. Nowadays, French baroque parterres are adapted and communicate with contemporary landscape design styles, but some traits and characteristics of originals are still easily recognizable. In this paper, apart from presenting a short overview of designing parterres in general, the main focus is based on designing a new parterre on the main city square in the city of Bijeljina in the Republic of Srpska. The design concept relies on principles known in the history of landscape art but is, at the same time, adjusted to local conditions and space purposes. The paper presents the current design of the selected zone – parterre on the main city square in Bijeljina and proposes a new design strongly influenced by the “broderie” type of parterre. For creating a new design proposal we have used the following software AutoCad (for 2D drawings) and Realtime Landscaping Architect (for more advanced presentations and 3D previews).

By looking through the lens of an early eighteenth century French garden design treatise, we can trace their rise to popularity during the second half of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century to their gradual decline as a garden feature during the second half of the eighteenth century.
