Ham House wilderness

... that in garden history, a wilderness is a highly artificial and formalized type of woodland, forming a section of a large garden? Source: History of Early American Landscape Design, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art (Washington DC). "Wilderness" by Anne L. Helmreich: "When used in the context of 17th-and 18th-century gardens, the term wilderness generally referred to a planned arrangement of trees that contained an understory of vegetation, often set within a regularly defined space ....Elaborately patterned walks helped establish the internal design of the wilderness and encouraged strolling.... Most significantly, a wilderness (unlike a shrubbery) was often arranged in geometrical fashion, with regularized plantings punctuated by a centrally placed decorative object, such as a fountain or statue.

New enough, long enough, within policy. QPQ done. Hook is good, but I would prefer "in the history of gardening". I also think I prefer File:Ham_House_05.JPG as an image at this size. What do you think? Srnec (talk) 01:33, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I think I prefer the original, but I don't really mind. The new one just comes over as allover green at this size. Johnbod (talk) 03:17, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2... that in the history of gardening, a wilderness is a highly artificial and formalized type of woodland, forming a section of a large garden? - same source, mix & match with pics & hooks. Johnbod (talk) 03:15, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- ALT2 with second pic good to go. (I checked with my wife and she prefers the second pic.) Srnec (talk) 03:56, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks, but just watch - the 2nd pic won't get chosen for the slot. Johnbod (talk) 14:51, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
