1650s 1653 Deptford Diagram Evelyn Plan Plans


EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite plan of John Evelyn's garden at Sayes Court in Deptford, London, offers a fascinating glimpse into the horticultural innovations and aesthetic sensibilities of the 17th century. Dating from 1653, this historical diagram, created during the period when Evelyn resided at Sayes Court from 1652 to 1694, showcases the meticulously designed garden layout that reflected the latest trends in European garden design. John Evelyn (1620-1706), a renowned English author, diarist, and scientist, was a passionate advocate for the cultivation of plants and the art of gardening. His influence on the development of English gardens during the 17th century was significant, and this plan provides an invaluable record of his own garden at Sayes Court. The garden, as depicted in this southern view, is a harmonious blend of formal and informal elements, with geometrically arranged parterres, ornamental ponds, and winding paths that lead the eye through a series of delightful vistas. The presence of exotic plants, such as the orange tree and the pineapple, attest to Evelyn's extensive horticultural knowledge and his connections to the burgeoning global trade networks of the time. This beautifully detailed plan, a testament to the rich history of English gardening, invites us to explore the world of John Evelyn and the captivating gardens of the 17th century. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of gardens as places of beauty, tranquility, and inspiration.
