knot_plant_sansar_green
Knot Garden is a Formal or Classical Garden laid out in a knotty (twisted) design. These are usually square compartments  (several squares in a large garden) consisting of a multiplicity of musky and scented plants and also culinary herbs including rosemary, viola, calendula, hyssop, lemon balm, Santolina, marjoram, and thyme.
These were particularly popular in the 16th century and took the form of interlacing bands and abstract patterns containing colored sands, gravels, or plants, marked out and framed by low hedges. They often reflected the knots and strapwork patterns of English Elizabethan and Tudor needlework and plaster ceiling decorations. To appreciate the detail, knot gardens are best viewed from above and should be designed so that they can be seen easily from a raised terrace or house window.
Knot gardens are not difficult to create and are honestly easy to maintain. The patterns should be kept simple and the design may be ineffective as well as making maintenance more difficult. Knot patterns are not only famous for plants and gardens but also for woodcarving, plasterwork, and stained glass. Knot gardens are found in England (Antony House, Cornwall).

Why is it called a Knot Garden?

The word “knot” means twisted and the gardens are designed in that way only. Plants are planted to look like a knotted (twisted) rope. So, it is called a knot garden.
Knot gardens were established towards the end of the Tudor period and comprise formal motifs of sweet-smelling herbs or shrubs laid out within an oblong frame. The more intricate the better it looks.
