When designing an Elizabethan Garden there are a few things we must remember.  Enjoyment and extravagant display are a few of the effects we must achieve.  Structurally we need to have the rectangular gardens, hedges, and knot gardens.
          The gardens are separated by paths.  These paths lead you around rectangular raised beds.  At the end of the paths you will find knot gardens composed of shrubs, turf, or gravel.
          Some of the gardens need to be herb gardens.  These divisions of the garden need to be full of scent for relaxation.  Topiary work needs to be incorporated with the entire garden.  By using frames for arbors and elaborate pruning of hedges will direct you towards attractions.  The topiaries will be of geometric shapes and more exquisite shapes of animals. 
          Since the gardens are for relaxation, shade is a must.  Cool shady places with turf seats are important for experiencing the wilderness.  The gardens are also a food source.  In this case, remember you will have to have fruit trees and herbs for seasoning.
