French parterre garden design is a highly formal and symmetrical style that originated in 16th-century France. It is characterized by intricate, geometric patterns created with low, clipped hedges, often boxwood, and filled with gravel, flowers, or colored stones. The parterres are typically laid out around a central axis and designed to be viewed from above, often from a terrace or balcony. This design concept emphasizes precision, order, and the beauty of symmetry. French parterre gardens often include classical statues, fountains, and carefully arranged topiaries. This style is ideal for those who appreciate the grandeur and elegance of historical European gardens and want to create a formal, visually striking outdoor space that serves as a testament to traditional gardening artistry.
