The Idea of a garden as places for a unification with the nature has arisen in the XVIII-th century beginning in a counterbalance to magnificent gardens of regular style. One of founders of wood style in gardening Stephen Schweitzer (Stephen Switzer, 1682 – 1745), the English writer and the designer of gardens is considered.
Owners of gardens in wood style avoided a court life, they aspired to «useful and beautiful» lives in village. Gardens in wood style were the presents manufacturers of a foodstuff: in them usually landed орешины, fruit trees and bushes, long-term grasses.
For wood style of character the radial geometry which has remained from regular gardens. As borders the low green hedge with turrets in places of bends is often used. The height of a fence in a garden should be absolutely small that from paths it was possible to see all garden.
Unlike traditional gardens which usually break in a horizontal plane (the most widespread plants in them the grass and flowers is газонная), "wood" gardens include all seven levels, characteristic for the present wood, such as:
- "the Bed curtains" formed by tops of high trees.
- the Plane of lower trees, for example, tiny fruit trees.
- the Level of bushes usually consisting of fructifying bushes.
- Grassy level, образуемый grasses and even greens, such as parsley, fennel, a basil.
- the Level of the earth consisting from стелющихся of plants, such as a thyme.
- the Vertical level formed by twisted grapes which can twist and trees.
- "Rizosfera" - the underground level formed тенеустойчивыми by root plants, for example, by a potato. All plants should be picked up so that well to grow together. It allows to minimise care of a garden and to receive a maximum of advantage of it. Wood style well will approach both for small personal plots, and for the big gardens.
