William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in a half-timbered house in Henley Street, Stratford-Upon-Avon. His birthplace could have contributed to his love for flowers.
In the period when Shakespeare lived there was a revival in gardening and flower gardening. When we use the word Shakespearean garden, we mean a theme garden, where everything develops in particular features centred with the same theme.
A Shakespearean garden usually includes several dozen species. Typical elements are walkways and benches and a weather-resistant bust of Shakespeare. In some Shakespearean gardens typical species of the Elizabethan period, but not mentioned in Shakespeare's plays, also grew.
