Persian garden

The traditional Persian garden was composed of four essentials as below:

1. Water for irrigation, display and sound
2. Shade trees for shelter
3. Flowers for scent and colour
4. Music to delight the ears

A typical garden is a quadrant pattern with water channels dividing the garden into four sections and this design is called as Char Bagh Design. There was usually a pool or small hill with a pavilion at the intersection of the channels. Shade trees and fruit trees were grown in four square plots.
