If a garden of the correct form channels divide it into four equal squares and if a Mauritian garden enough big on the size, each of the big squares it is possible to break on smaller four in the same way.
- Mauritian gardens as well as French, geometrical correctness and a regularity in a lay-out distinguishes. However plans of Mauritian gardens remind east patterns, the vegetation in such garden usually grows without any processing by garden scissors and quickly fills all space between paths and reservoirs.

Small murmuring streamlets which stream from the high vases established on the centre of a reservoir, decorated with Muslim stars are traditional For a Mauritian garden.
- Also for the big Mauritian garden covered arches and the galleries twined colours and wild grapes are characteristic перголы.
- Near to pool often arrange a rosary, however to select flowers costs not only on colour but so that the combination of their aromas during flowering created a pleasant composition.
