2. Hidcote Manor, UK
Johnston’s influential 20th century garden promoting the idea of garden rooms, beautifully designed with hedged compartments to protect his plants *Ninfa, Italy — a romantic ruin garden created by three generations of women, with water everywhere. Achieved with artful care, so that it seems almost natural.
Powerscourt-Gardens
3. Powerscourt Gardens
This beautiful garden is located in Enniskerry, County Wicklow, Ireland.The gardens and grand Palladian villa at Powerscourt, south of Dublin, were designed in the 18th century and punctuate 19 hectares (47 acres) of formal walled gardens and shaded ponds. The grounds, waterfalls, parks, garden pavilions, and fine tree-lined arbors were suggested by the Italian Renaissance and the great estates and gardens of France and Germany. Cascading terraces and formal landscapes are planned with carefully designed walks that are framed by the gentle beauty of the Wicklow Mountains.

4. Garden-versailles
The gardens at Versailles are riddled with paths that lead to flower beds, quiet corners, ornamental lakes, and a canal that King Louis used for gondola rides.

5. Royal Botanic Gardens
Set amid 132 hectares (326 acres) of landscaped grounds, greenhouses are a popular feature of the gardens. Underneath their domes, botanical science and conservation come together in an elegant setting 16 kilometers (10 miles) from London. The Temperate House is the world’s largest Victorian greenhouse; the Bonsai House has trees more than 150 years old. Beneath the sloping glass roof of the Palm House, ten climatic zones grow baobab trees and vanilla orchids. Queen Charlotte’s Cottage for royal picnicking and the Orangery for lunch are enchanting.

6. The garden of the Nezu Museum, Japan
A relaxed, natural Japanese garden to be explored. With some classic features, it is unencumbered with religious symbolism.

150 acre wilderness landscape incorporating lakes, streams, trees, rocks and grass influenced by the Chinese tradition, subtly shaped by man.

8. Butchart Gardens
This super garden is located in Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The Butchart Gardens are a dazzling example of a successful reclamation project. The land, used for years by Portland Cement, by 1904 had exhausted its value as a quarry. That's when Jennie Butchart, the wife of Portland Cement's owner, filled the space with soil from nearby farms.

9. The Alhambra, Spain
Dramatic and simple garden spaces, each with their own atmosphere with the beauty of proportion famed in Islamic gardens.
