Gardening art is an important element of national culture. It often consolidates and unites societies of various nations. It also provides historical continuity in the history of separate countries. We can see it for ourselves while traveling around neighbouring countries: The Czech republic, Germany and Great Britain. The place worth seeing in our southern neighbours is a Baroque garden situated in the former health resort of Kuks, where the most celebrated representatives of mid-European aristocracy and the world of art spent their time between the 17th and 18th century. On the other hand the great family of French aristocratic elite - Rohans settled in the Czech Paradise. Royals of Austria and France visited their estate and admired this most beautiful park in the English style. Czech Prague can pride itself on marvelous architectonical works of art from the Renaissance period, i.e. Belveder on Hradcan hill. In Großsedlitz near Dresden is situated the most wonderful garden of King Augustus the Strong - Saxon Elector and King of Poland. The most celebrated architects and designers of European gardens of those times, such as : Heinrich Brühl, Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, or Carl Friedrich Pöppelmann worked for the Saxon court. In the capital of Prussia - Berlin, we can find the traces of work by famous French garden designers, S. Godeau and J.P. Lenné, who created the palace - garden set - Charlottenburg. In the times of Prussian prosperity, the castle and Rococo garden of Sanssouci in Potsdam was created. The spiritual capital of England still remains Canterbury together with its medieval Cathedral, but Windsor and Hampton Court Palace can be seen as a symbol of laic authority. Queen Victoria made Windsor, the old Gothic fortress, her main abode and there she buried her husband, Prince Albert. The castle is surrounded by great Windsor park. Hampton court had its blooming period during the Tudor reign. The Pond Gardens and The Knot Gardens are examples of gardens from the times of Henry VIII. The Privy Garden is an original garden set in the Dutch style modeled on a private garden of William II. But the best known garden-park set in England is London Kew Gardens also known as the Royal Botanic Gardens. About 50.000 plant species were gathered in a 120 ha park, and such famous architects as Chambers and Nesfield took part in its creation. London Greenwich Park and French Versailles are connected by the name of a famous garden designer - Le Nôtre. We can conclude from that short trip around Europe that gardening art had no borders, and it's inspirations were common to the sponsors and creators from those days irrespective of their origin.
