There are beautiful gardens found around the world and then there are a few epic gardens that simply boggle the eyes and mind. Here a run down on a few. The universal popularity of gardening is best illustrated by reviewing a list of some of the world's famous gardens. The list includes such diverse gardens and locations as the Exbury Gardens in Hampshire, England, which is one of the most famous woodland type gardens in the world to the garden of the Imperial Summer Palace in Beijing, China. The Adachi Museum in Shimane, Japan is another well known Asian Garden. Europe is the home of many famous gardens besides the Exbury Gardens. In France, you find the Gardens of Eyrignac, the Hambury Botanic Gardens, and the gardens at the Chateau de Versailles. The Boboli Gardens in Florence and the amazing gardens found at the Vatican are Italy's representatives on the list. In Vienna, Austria, there is the Schoenbrunn Palace Gardens while Spain boasts of the Alhambra, Gardens in Granada. The Botanical Garden of Justus-Liebig University is in Germany. The Keukenhof Gardens are in Lisse, Holland. These are two more examples of the famous gardens of Europe.

In North America, The Royal Botanical Gardens of Canada and The Huntington Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California are two popular choices. The gardens of Central Park in New York City are thought by some to be the best in the United States. The love of gardening is such a universal trait that a list such as this is purely subjective. The idea of a famous garden is a bit hard to define. Famous and favorite are two different concepts and the Gardens included above tend to make the list because of they tend to be well known. History has included some famous gardens that are no longer around. This begins with the Garden of Eden and includes the famous hanging gardens of Babylon. Gardens have been a part of human history since its beginning. The true measure of a garden is actually its beauty and its visual appeal and not the number of visitors or the amount of publicity it receives. In order to make your own "famous garden" lists, you should visit as many as possible and draw your own conclusions. To some people the most famous garden in the world might be the one they have carefully tended in their backyard even if no one else in the world ever knows about it.
