In April 2008 I started a group called Historical Gardens on photo-sharing site flickr, in which photos of both famous and obscure historical gardens are collected by photographers around the world. The group has been growing continuously over time and now spans all continents and many countries.
The images have always been accessible through the HGimages page, but updates have always been preserved for flickr itself. Starting now, I will present a regular (I hope weekly) update of all additions to that group here.
In week 16 pictures of the following gardens have been added:
- China:
Couple’s Retreat Garden (?u Yuán) (Sozhou).
Lion Grove Garden (Shi Zi Lin) (Sozhou).
Master of the Nets Garden (Wang Shi Yuan) (Sozhou).
Yuyuan (Shanghai).
Zhan Yuan Garden (Chan Yuan) (Nanjing).
- England:
Cleary Garden (London).
Waddesdon Manor (Aylesbury).
- Netherlands:
De Tempel (Rotterdam).
Kasteeltuin Hemmen (Hemmen).
Wilhelminapark (Sneek).
- Spain:
Parque de El Capricho (Madrid).
- Tasmania:
Brickendon Estate (Longford).
- USA:

A big thank you for everyone sharing their photos.
