  • Dutch garden refers firstly to gardens in the Netherlands, but also, mainly in the English-speaking countries, to various types of gardens traditionally considered to be in a Dutch style, a presumption that has been much disputed by garden historians in recent decades. Historically gardens in the Netherlands have generally followed trends from neighbouring countries, but from the Early Modern period, Dutch gardens were distinctive for the wider range of plants available over the rest of Europe north of the Alps, and an emphasis on individual specimen plants, often sparsely planted in a bed. In the 17th century and into the 18th, the Dutch dominated the publishing of botanical books, and established the very strong position in the breeding and growing of garden plants, which they still retain. They were perhaps also distinguished by their efficient use of space, and in large examples, the use of topiary (sculptured bushes and trees) and small "canals", long thin, rectangular artificial stretches of water. When a distinctively "Dutch" style is claimed, it generally relates to formal styles in large gardens in the latter part of the 17th century, stretching on for a few decades. Because the Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries, gardens are generally small and because houses are placed right next to each other, there is not very much light available. From the 19th century onwards, Dutch gardens adapted to wider trends, mostly from England and France. Dutch gardens are relatively small, and tend to be "self-contained and introspective", with less linkage to the wider landscape around. From the late 18th century onwards, many or most large gardens in the Netherlands adopted the continental version of the English Landscape garden style, at least for the areas beyond the immediate vicinity of the house. There are also many woodland gardens from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The history of "Dutch-style" gardens abroad perhaps begins in the 17th century. On the one hand these have a concentration on the display of specimen plants, initially often imported from the Netherlands. In larger gardens, canals and topiary are often found. However, both of these features may well have been imported to the Netherlands from France, and their appearance in England may have been from either or both countries. Evergreen hedges, rather than those of deciduous species such as hornbeam, have also been seen as a characteristic Dutch style since the 17th century. David Jacques, in a paper from 2002 called "Who Knows What a Dutch Garden Is?", concludes that the description was never accurate and "It is time that historians of English garden style eschewed labels such as "Dutch". Rectangular flower gardens, often slightly sunk in tiers, and now heavily planted, were seen as "Dutch". Any garden with large numbers of tulips is also easily labelled as a Dutch garden. (en)
  • オランダの庭園(おらんだのていえん、The Dutch garden)は、その緻密な雰囲気とスペースの効率的な利用によって際立っている。 国際的なレベルでは、 チューリップのある庭園もオランダ庭園であると単純に分類できる。 イングランドでは、オランダの庭とはより広い庭や公園の一部であっても、多くの場合、生垣や壁に囲まれた特定のタイプの長方形の庭空間に与えられるというものであった。空間は色とりどりの花を咲かせて植え付け、箱や他の密で刈り取られた低木、または低い壁(時には幾何学模様)で縁取りされて高度に栽培され、幾何学的にしばしば対称的に作られ、そうして配置された人工の水域、噴水と水面が設けられる。花壇や水域は幾何学的な経路パターンで交差しているため、その機能を損なうことなく庭を歩き回ることができる。一例には、オレンジの南にあるケンジントン宮殿に隣接している。野心的ではないがもう1つの例はサリーのクラウドン園(Clandon Park)がある。オランダの庭はその幾何学型が堅苦しく感じられもし、ゆえにコテージ・ガーデンが草花により特徴付けられていて、 曲がりくねっている非対称なパス(もしあれば)や低木で花壇の境界を育てることにより生じる花と草の間のラインのぼやかしが特徴などと対照的である。 他方、オランダ国内にあるオランダの一般的な家庭庭園で花や低木の配置は、空間と光を効率的に利用しながらも、非線形で非整形のものであるかもしれないが、オランダは最も人口密度の高い国の1つであるため、住宅庭園は一般的に狭く、家も隣同士につめて配置されているため、利用できる光はそれほど多くなく、こうした制限のために、オランダに関連した庭園デザインに独特のスタイルが現れている。 (ja)
