Moving Water: Lessons from a Paradise Garden

The ancient Persians were famous for their lavish, walled-in “paradise” gardens that featured flowing waterways and dappled shade. These verdant settings were insulated from the harsh desert winds and visitors would sit on woven carpets, enjoying the scenery, eating from the fruit trees irrigated by the canals, and inhaling the intoxicating scent of roses and jasmines. Heaven in a garden indeed! Interestingly, the word paradise comes from the Persian word pairi-daeza meaning “enclosed space.”
