In Greece, the original inhabitants of the forest were devoted to worship, as later immigrants from the north of Egypt and Asia Minor led a number of crops, but the forests thinned and soon had the country for irrigation provided. Homer's odyssey into a coherent, regularly divided into fruit (and probably vegetable) garden is known. Homer's Odyssey is in its extensive descriptions are never that fruit is eaten, and yet make the poet pears, pomegranates, apples, figs, olives and, of course, grapes, a well planned fruit garden, a garden, which produce over a long time in fruit would:

Besides the farm is a large garden near the courtyard door
On four acres, surrounded on all sides of the fence.
Large trees are in fact lush growth,
Apple trees with bright fruit, pomegranates and pears
And also sweet and fresh figs, green olives.

Which never spoils fruit, yet it lacks both winter and summer
Throughout the year, but the steady western breeze
Drives out the one and the other mature leaves.
Pear on pear and apple ripens as apple,
but also on grapes and grape also fig on fig.
(Homer, Odyssey 7.112)

Greece in classical times, went back and horticultural field, they lived mostly in cities, where a few regular inhabitants of the plantations were used as a recreational places where Epicurus and his disciples gathered around, called his philosophy was so Kepos (garden).

After the fall of the Roman Empire in Italy were looted and destroyed undefended possessions of the nobles, the land was cultivated only for the most essential requirement, especially for food. Then came monasteries, often the one beside the other, and during the reign of the Popes in the 8th-12th Century, the monks were almost the only ones that dealt with agriculture and horticulture, the rich and powerful people gave them, in order to obtain forgiveness of sins, large areas of land with serfs and rewarded her work as able farmers and gardeners. The peace was also expressed by the introduction of many alien plants from the Orient, particularly by wealthy Venetians and Genoese.

Gardening in France knows only the beginning of his story purely Useful rises only slowly to observe the flowers and reached only very late in the aesthetic beauty, each pleasant and useful product of farming and gardening comes from abroad, from the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans and Saracens. Charlemagne (768-814) promoted farming, fruit growing and viticulture in every way, he loved the gardens and gave his gardeners like Verhaltungsbefehle. He stood in friendly relations with the Abbasid caliph Harun ar-Rashid (d. 809), by which he should have received the best vegetables and fruits.

The Botanical Garden in Europe came only in the 16 permanently Century, after the discovery in Mexico's momentum, and was therefore initially from Spain [2].

Gaspar de Gabriel, a wealthy Tuscan nobleman, founded the first botanical garden in 1525, soon of the Cornaro in Venice, which was followed by Simonetti at Milan, Naples and other Pinetta.

Horticulture in the Netherlands

The Netherlands is famous for floriculture (flower bulbs), and the fruit tree nurseries and seed breeding for trade. The Dutch garden style was the precursor of the baroque gardens in the 17th and 18 Century and influenced the French garden architecture. Mansions were often associated with hedges, flowers, walkways and canals surrounded created. The flat landscape favored the regular installation of patches.
The Victorian Garden in England

In the 19th Century, the civic sphere in which art and culture dominated, people loved the rare plants. The gardeners have become amateur botanists and theme gardens laid on with some Australian, South American and Asian plants, the plant hunters gathered around the world. The collecting of rare species became more important than the artistic design of the landscape. For example, did the rhododendrons, camellias and azaleas species feed in the gardens. Especially popular were also topiaries, ie in the form of cut bushes and trees. In the garden of Levens Hall thinks you are in an oversized toy land are to dominate so much here, the cube-shaped, conical and spherical cut hedges. In the city of gardens used to be very popular again now the flower beds, the carpet-like lying there and where were the flowers colorful ornaments.

A natural contrast to these very ornate gardens are the gardens of Women Gardeners like Gertrude Jekyll and Elizabeth Sitwell, geared to the untamed beauty and simplicity of country gardens.

The garden as an ecosystem

Gardens for biodiversity can have an important meaning. Their diverse structures such as hedges, bushes, fences, trees or single Asthaufen for insects, birds and amphibians shelter and hunting ground. However, the type of garden a big role. Dressed private gardens have a negative impact on biodiversity.

To this end, the National Bumblebee Nest count was 2007, in England, where 700 volunteers searched all the nests in your garden. It turned out that many gardens have messy areas tend to be more humble. So it depends directly on the aesthetic sensibilities of the owner as to whether a garden of its function as an ecological niche can be fair or not.

At least on paper, the knowledge has been reflected by the benefits of structural diversity. An example is the policy for allotment holders in Zurich. It states explicitly: "The creation and maintenance of natural habitats for animals and plants (eg grasslands, site-native shrubs, wild bushes, fruit trees, wet and dry habitats, small structures such as dry stone walls, cairns, etc.) is desirable."

But it seems it always comes back to the conflict between aesthetics and the needs of the ecosystem. For example, one study from the U.S. that the willingness to natural gardening depends strongly on the appearance of the garden of a neighbor. If this makes a clean cut lawn, then you will feel themselves obliged to do likewise.

A study from Switzerland shows, however, that species-poor and boring gardens are generally rated as not aesthetically pleasing. The agreement increases, however, more colorful, rich in species and their appearance is wild. But at some point again tilts the assessment. Completely chaotic nobody finds beautiful gardens. [8] The garden ecosystem has to be acknowledged in this day and age seems a good chance as a valuable habitat for plants and animals.
