Topiary plants in today’s landscape design

Abstract

Topiary plants in the recent landscape designing are taking the chance of being the most distinguished parts of the open green spaces. As recognizable element of the classic Renaissance and Baroque gardens in European Villas, their appearance dates from the time of the Roman Empire and first villas and gardens there. Evergreen shrubs and trees with dense foliage were shaped and trained through the ages, raising them to the level of art forms that easily find their places in the classic gardens in the past as well in todays designed open green spaces.
