Knot Garden
The Knot Garden is the most formal area of Kingsbrae Garden – each of the four beds is laid out symmetrically with a different Celtic knot. Two strongly
contrasting colours of foliage enclosed by boxwood create the effect. Everything is carefully trimmed to consistent height. Knot gardens (parterres) were popular
in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in Italy and France and fashionable in Britain from Tudor times.
