Try to guess if you are not sure of the correct answers. The earliest British gardens were planted in the 1st century AD. Ancient Roman Garden 最早的英国花园是公元1世纪由罗马征服者在英国建造的。罗马花园伴随着大型别墅和宫殿出现，后者最好的例子可能是苏塞克斯的菲什伯恩罗马宫（Fishbourne Roman Palace）。菲什伯恩罗马宫展示了一种精心对称的正式种植，这是在古希腊哲学思潮和几何学发展的影响下，人对于审美的权衡，那就是对称。 如今，罗马宫的花园得到了修复，不过必然伴随着现代生活下的润色。我们依旧可以从其架构一窥当时的设计思路：低矮的方形树篱被砾石小径分开。树篱上点缀着小壁龛，里面可能安置有雕像等装饰品。房子附近的主花园面前是一片绿地，通向水边；还有一个小菜园，种植着不列颠常见的水果和蔬菜。 你会发现，作为一个真正的花园而不是历史遗迹来考量，罗马宫花园并不让人满意。我们对盎格鲁-撒克逊英格兰的花园知之甚少，其中一种说法是，好战的盎撒人可能并不认为园艺像今天那么重要。 Gardening in the UK People in the UK love gardening.
