    The document summarizes the characteristics of a formal English garden. It traces the origins of the formal English garden back to Roman times, but notes they developed into their modern form during the 18th century as a relaxation of the highly ordered French Renaissance gardens. Key elements include a mix of symmetrical and asymmetrical design elements, modeled water features, classical stone structures, and an emphasis on pathways and open lawns planted with roses, hyacinths, bluebells, bleeding hearts, boxwood, and hollyhocks. Examples of historic formal English gardens include Chiswick House Garden and Vanbrugh's Rotunda at Stowe, while modern adaptations show an eclectic incorporation of the style.

    during the 18th Century, from
    about the 1740's.
    These gardens represented a
    relaxation of the formal,
    symmetrical, and highly
    ordered gardens of the French
    Renaissance periods.
