What kind of trees are planted in this campus of Cambridge University? What plants are mainly used in British gardens?
Hello, from the combination of poems and pictures in this picture, we can see that the trees planted are: golden willow, green grass, elm and seaweed. English garden is the representative of natural landscape garden in classical gardens, and plant arrangement is basically a natural growth mode derived from nature. The early British garden art was also influenced by the French classical gardening art, but because rationalism philosophy and classical culture have a shallow foundation in Britain, the British advocate empiricism represented by Bacon, so they doubt the decisive role of transcendental geometric proportion in gardening. /kloc-in the 0/8th century, British gardening art began to pursue nature and deliberately imitated the landscape paintings of Claude and Rosa. By the middle of18th century, the new gardening art was mature, which was called natural wind-induced garden. Gardens all over Britain have changed, and geometric patterns are gone. There are no more straight roads, green sculptures, patterned altars, platforms and neatly built pools. The garden is like a natural pasture, mainly grassland, with natural old trees, winding rivers and ponds. /kloc-Romanticism gradually rose in the second half of the 0/8th century. Under the influence of China's gardening art, British gardeners are not satisfied with the plainness of gardens caused by natural wind, but pursue more twists and turns, deeper levels and more poetry. They treated the original pasture scenery a little more, and the natural wind-induced garden developed into a more romantic scroll-style garden. Some gardens have even preserved or created ruins, deserted graves and remains.
