The Georgian era heralded the replacement of the formal garden with the English Landscape movement for the landed gentry. Its idealized view of nature, championed by Capability Brown, brought a looser more minimalist garden design.  The period also saw the creation of the Pleasure Garden, a combination of the aesthetic of nature with public entertainment and attractions. In this conversation garden historians and enthusiasts exploring the continuing impact of Georgian horticultural artistry on our view of outside spaces.
