Abstract

With respect to Turkish garden art, there is a presurnption that a nation that has used floral patterns in almost all of its decoration, with many different delicate examples in every possible material, has all but ignored gardens which develop and nourish the nation itself.1 However, as a result of widespread travelling, the concept of ‘nature’ for a Turk was vast and limitless, and the garden was for a long time not perceived in defined limits but rather at the scale of plains, rivers and mountains2.
