Elements of the Persian Garden

Shade is crucial in gardens because of the dry climate of Iran. As a result, it was crucial to consider the effects of sunlight while designing structures so that textures and forms could be created expressly to manage the light. Natural shade is provided mostly by trees; Iranians have a preference for a variety of fruit trees as well as Black Poplar, Sycamore, Pine, Willow, Maple, Plane Tree, Spruce, and Cypress trees. Walls and pavilions have a significant structural role in hiding the sun. The heat also makes a steady supply of water crucial to the garden’s design and upkeep. These gardens have always been constructed near aqueducts, springs, or Qanats.
