Most Beautiful Gardens

In Genesis 2:8-9 God planted a garden in the east of Eden, it was called the Garden of Eden.  It was in that garden that He placed Adam the first man He formed out of the ground, later his wife Eve came along.  Out of the ground God caused to grow every tree that was pleasant to the eyes and good for food. In that garden was found the tree of life in the midst of it and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 

I can just imagine how gloriously beautiful Eden was, free from sin's ugly presence.  In those days the Almighty God used to come down and commune with man as friends in the cool of the day. It was out of love why he placed our fore parents in a garden, because there is something very special about that piece of cultivated area.

A garden is a peaceful, serene, calm place to go with the family or better yet alone when you want a break from the routine of life.  

There are some real beautiful gardens around the world, especially in Europe that it would be my pleasure visiting.  The skilled layout of the , pools, fountains, flowers and their colours just takes your breath away.    

Versailles Grounds 

This beautiful enchanting garden is located in France at the Palace of Versailles or in French Château de Versailles.

The French King Louis the 13th, said to have founded the Gardens of Versailles in 1632. However, many gave the credit to his son Louis 14th, saying that he is the real founder for the grand garden that stands today as he was the one who laid the real foundation.

In 1661, Louis 14th hired the best architects, painters, and landscape-designers to work on what would become his life project; the Château de Versailles and its magnificent gardens.

A pretty English Garden

English gardens most of the times includes a lake, sweeps of gently rolling lawns set against groves of trees, and recreations of classical temples, Gothic ruins, bridges, and other picturesque architecture, designed to recreate an idyllic pastoral landscape. (Wikipedia)
