Garden has been defined as ‘the purest of human
pleasures and the greatest refreshment to the
spirits of man’ (Bacon 1883). According to Hunt,
gardens are “concentrated or perfected forms of
place-making’ (Hunt 2000). Garden is also perceived
as a symbolic site, resulting from the human’s
attempts to materialize Eden on the earth (AlonMozes
2004). In the Greek text of the Bible, a garden
has been expressed as a “paradise”. In Hebrew
“Eden” is translated to an unidentified region or
country. In Persian literature, the word garden
“pardis” derives from the word “paridaiza” which
literally means “walled garden“ and it has been
summed up as a luminous and perfumed place,
populated by a number of angelical and beautiful
creatures (Babaie 1997).
