Summary/Abstract: The author treats a garden as a rich and diversified “culture text” and the area of “cultural communication”. The topic of gardens has been fascinating for philosophers, writers and artists since time immemorial. The garden is a borderline between the world of nature and culture. The text confirms the hypothesis that an ideology typical of a given civilization period has always influenced the architecture-landscape orientations while these have been the source of many outstanding artistic works. The garden is a reflection of man’s culture, a poetical figure, a reflection of various directions and music styles. Multidimensional interpretations of “garden” brought sense to various aesthetic, cultural and religious orientations from the ancient times to modernity.
