We present you a four of free access gardens in Europe – in Scotland, Netherlands and of course France. Rest awhile! 
We start with a Villandy Gardens, France – a voyage into the symbolism and romance. The unique gardens of Villandry are among the most fascinating gardens of France and of the World. Villandry’s Ornamental Gardens, water Garden, Herb Garden, and kitchen Garden have an international fame…
The gardens of Villandry comprise three tiers of terracing. The lowest level, in the Louis XIV style, takes the form of a rectangle of slightly irregular shape surrounding on three sides the two higher tiers of gardens. It is devoted to vegetables and has 9 square sections divided into beds of various colored plants, surrounded by box hedges and hardy plants.
On the one side of the canal is a Garden of Love. Most easily recognizable are the perfect hearts of “Tender Love”, at right, perhaps love in its most ideal form, at least by Renaissance standards. At the opposite side of the garden to the castle, there is a maze of clipped trees. On the highest level, whose edges are bounded by arbors, lies the water garden.
The second place in our chart belongs to a

Have no choice but to present our last offer for one long green walk –
Het Loo Palace, Netherlands
The palace itself and the surrounding gardens have largely been restored to their original 17th-century design. The spring and summer planting of the baroque garden parterres surrounded by terraces, statues and vases, in exactly the same fashion as in the seventeenth century is, to date, unique in Europe. Just as in the seventeenth century, the fountains and cascades are always playing. The entire complex is surrounded by extensive woodland dotted with romantic lakes, the gardens unfolded in front of the palace with a huge number of species interwoven with fountains, canals and water falls, and is entirely open to the public. Soak up the splendor of this major “royal” attraction.
