Please note that this list is not necessarily comprehensive.
There may be topiary gardens that ought to be included, but have been omitted due to error or because they are unknown to the committee. If you feel a particular garden should be added, please let us know.
There is insufficient space here to write a critique of each garden, so we have added a simple key. We know that among the users of this site there are many students who are interested in biology, horticulture and landscape design. These people have a deep-rooted love of nature and their desire to immerse themselves in the world of plants. It is a means to break out of textbooks and classrooms, reconnect with the earth and create something beautiful and sustainable. Their gardens become living canvases where they experiment with different plants, colors, textures and design elements, transforming ordinary spaces into magical landscapes. Of course, college classes require no less attention, so students often turn to write my article review for me requests from proven authors to combine a favorite hobby with maintaining an academic rating.

Here you will find the "GardenFinder", the Schemes online search facility, which allows you to obtain a list of gardens which contain topiary. Alternatively, a more complete printed list, describing these gardens and giving contact details, is available for £1 plus a 2nd class stamp from: |
