🌳Persian Garden, the Paradise on Earth
Persian garden truly resembles the paradise on Earth. The general pattern of Persian gardens (Iranian gardens) is a rectangular form consisting of four quarters abundant in trees and flowers, streams and pathways, ponds and fountains, usually a central pavilion, and the walls that surround the garden. The Persian gardens are so remarkable that nine gardens out of a wide variety are inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage Site. The gardens located at different geographic parts of Iran with different climate and have their unique features but they are still similar in their overall structure.
According to Persian literature, the word garden means “paradise “which is derived from the word “paridaiza”. Paridaiza means a garden surrounded by walls. This walled garden makes a harmony between nature and humans’ art of creation. The evergreen trees harness the sharp sunlight, the flowing water make the environment cool, and the pavilion blocks the sunlight while providing picturesque view from the terrace.
