Gardens can transform nearly any space into a place of whimsy and wonder. For many homeowners, having a lush exterior space can both enhance a home’s architecture and design as well as provide an intimate escape. Landscape architects and gardeners use outdoor areas as a canvas for horticulture creativity and a chance to express themselves, just as an artist, interior designer, or architect might. Every culture has its own interpretation of nature and gardens, from wild English gardens—which often feature rectilinear patterns, sculptures, symmetry, and classical architecture—to French gardens, known for lush labyrinths, defied borders, and reflecting pools. And when you have a property with verdant green space to spare, a garden can be a transformative addition to any home where owners get the chance to make it their own. These green spaces aren’t just for aesthetic purposes, either; studies show they can positivity impact mental healthy by boosting creativity and memory. Here, we’ve rounded up the most romantic, picturesque, and idyllic gardens at homes for sale across the globe.
