Formal Knot Garden Design

Formal knot garden design is a highly structured style that features intricate, interwoven patterns of low, clipped hedges, typically made from boxwood or lavender. This design concept originated in the Renaissance and is characterized by its geometric, symmetrical layouts that resemble the threads of a knot. The knot patterns are often filled with gravel, colored stones, or flowers to enhance the visual effect. These gardens are usually enclosed by higher hedges or walls and are designed to be viewed from above, making them ideal for smaller, formal garden spaces. Formal knot gardens are perfect for those who appreciate the precision and artistry of traditional garden design and want to create a visually striking, historically inspired outdoor space.
