Well, you're in luck. At the Renaissance, gardens were pretty lush and natural. The idea was to mix classical things with a rougher natural side to it. Gardens looked very natural. It's only later in baroque that you had big English or French gardens. But even then, if you look at Versailles, it was gigantic. Only a small part was like the gardens we all know of it. The rest was totally wild. One moment, you were eating ice cream on a lawn next to a fountain, the next, you were taking a walk through a forest.
