A Renaissance Garden is a beautiful display of old world charm, typically consisting of perennial plants that cycle seasonally. Renaissance means "rebirth" and a garden that perpetually goes through seasons of dormancy and multiple blooms is a Renaissance garden.
Other features of a Renaissance Garden are topiary shrubs, water fountains and hardscape structures like gazebos or other outdoor living spaces.
The Duncan Garden in Manito Park is a classic example of a Renaissance Garden. For more information about visiting Manito Park and seeing the beautiful Renaissance Garden go to www.manitopark.org.
