Built in 1789, it affords visitors interconnected paths, nestled between expansive grassy areas, where oak\u2014a national symbol that represents perseverance, strength and justice\u2014rules supreme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The English Garden is not just about native flora. Meander through the space and you\u2019ll reach an island with a Nipponic garden and an authentic Japanese tea house, where ceremonies are occasionally still held. China is represented at the Chinese pagoda and Greece in the Monopteros, an elegant neoclassical temple that affords a spectacular view of the surroundings.
