Enclosed Garden - Enclosed Garden

...The basic structure of a Western garden, in which an ideal landscape is enclosed by walls or fences, water is provided within, and fruit trees and flowers are planted, can be said to be the basic structure of a paradise. Moreover, this type of "enclosed garden (hortus conclusus)" was often imagined as a scene of sexual activity between men and women as a "garden of pleasure (hortus deliciarum)" and was actually used, which also supports the idea that gardens are paradises. The reason why Arabian gardens are richly equipped with ponds and fountains bordered by date palms and other plants is because the prototype of paradise in the culture of that region was the oasis.

*Some of the terminology that refers to an "enclosed garden" is listed below.
