Bosquets In Rundāle Palace Garden, Latvia Stock Image

N the Baroque era, the bosquets were like small forests separated by hedges, with collections of popular trees and shrubs of that time, which delight people in all seasons. The restoration of bosquets in the Rundāle Palace Park began in 2003. Hornbeams, traditionally used in European gardens, have been planted in hedges in Rundāle, as well as other trees, because in Kurzeme in the 18th century even berry bushes were grown in hedges. The plant collections in the bosquets were designed and supplemented in accordance with the descriptions of the 18th century, sample books and the theory of Baroque gardening.
