The pleasure ground is an area of garden near to a building in landscape gardens of English style that, in contrast to the outlying park, stresses artistic elements over the more natural elements. == Concept == The German landscape gardener, Hermann, Prince of Pückler-Muskau, explained the meaning of this term in his 1834 publication ''Andeutungen über Landschaftsgärtnerei'' ("Ideas On Landscape Gardening") as follows: :''"The word pleasure ground is difficult enough to render in German and I have therefore felt it better to retain the English expression. This means a piece of land adjacent to a house, which is fenced in and ornamented, of much greater extent than gardens, and something of an intermediate thing, a connecting element between the park and the actual gardens."〔Hermann Fürst von Pückler-Muskau: ''Andeutungen über Landschaftsgärtnerei''. Fünfter Abschnitt, Park und Gärten, Stuttgart 1834, p. 48 〕 :And further: ''"() if the park is an idealised, condensed piece of the natural world, so the pleasure garden is an extended residence () in this way () the suite of rooms, is continued on a larger scale in the open air, ()''〔Pückler-Muskau, Andeutungen, p. 52/53〕 Pückler-Muskau's description refers to one of the three elements of the English landscape garden that are, from the outer perimeter of the estate to its main building, the park, the pleasure ground and the flower gardens. Usually there was also a flower-bedecked terrace on the house itself so that the transition from the open countryside to the house was in several stages. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「pleasure ground」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
