  • ... 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.
