Abstract (en)

Describes the cultivated grove system of agriculture and silviculture in 13th c. England, and proposes it was the source for the ornamental grove, ferme ornée and belt of 18th-19th c. landscape design. Suggests that, to contemporaries, the appeal of Capability Brown's and William Kent's designs was their characteristic look of willful neglect, i.e., retaining the forms of obsolete land use.
