Turkish gardens

Turkish gardens

The term Turkish gardens can be used to mean either 'gardens made in Turkey', which includes Byzantine gardens or 'gardens made under the influence of Turkish culture'. As a nomadic people, originating in East Asia, the Turks did not have a native tradition of making gardens. It was learned after making contact with Persian civilisation and further developed after settling in cities previously occupied by Greco-Roman civilisation.
