The origins of gardens in ancient civilizations can be traced back to early human settlements, where they initially served as utilitarian spaces for practical purposes such as food cultivation, medicinal plant cultivation, and providing shade. Over time, however, gardens evolved into expressions of beauty, symbolism, and cultural identity, reflecting the values, beliefs, and artistic sensibilities of the societies that created them. In this exploration, we will delve into the origins of gardens in ancient civilizations, tracing their development from utilitarian spaces to expressions of beauty and symbolism.
