A formal garden is distinguished by order, neatness, geometry, and symmetry. This style of garden design is one of the oldest in the world, tracing its origins back to the beginnings of recorded history. This is because formality is a common and honored tradition in all Western, Middle Eastern, and Eastern Cultures. Everyone has heard of the gardens of the Greeks and Romans, and of how the Hanging Gardens of Ancient Babylon were one of the Seven Wonders of the World. In the East, China and Japan have also perfected formal gardens as expressions of Taoist, Shinto, and Buddhist ideals.
