FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersWell my friend what you speak of is Kept Gardens and they have been around since the dawn of civilization ever hear of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? No? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging_Gar...
Reply:Flowering plants go back 100 million years, I guess. Flowers make seeds and multiply all by themselves. They don't need our help at all. Flowers have been found in the graves of stone age people in Europe.
Reply:too add to the above responses..then once people began to understand the healing powers of plants, they began to gather them for medicines etc..then as people became nomadic they would transport plants, seeds etc and replant them where they settled..the begining of flower gardening..


I think they heyday of flower garden for purely asthetic reason was probably in the victoria era though.make up
