Gardens of the Restoration: garden design and garden-themed embroidery 1660-1720 – Lucy Hughes-Hallett
The last splendid flowering of the formal Italianate garden in this country.
The Royalist landowners returning from exile on Charles II’s Restoration in 1660 brought with them, from Holland or France, new tastes in garden design, and a longing to put down roots. John Evelyn was one of many employed to create little Edens for them.
