Classical garden garden design refers to the architectural and horticultural techniques used to create traditional Chinese gardens. These gardens typically feature a harmonious blend of natural elements such as water, rocks, plants, and pavilions, emphasizing balance, symmetry, and the interplay of space and nature. Key elements include the use of ponds, bridges, and pathways, as well as the incorporation of various plants like bamboo, pine, and plum trees to create serene and picturesque landscapes.
