Zusammenfassung:This paper examines how the late Victorian and Edwardian garden resonated with the discourses of aestheticism and yet why the term 'aestheticism' was not deliberately used in discussions of garden design at this time. A key reason for the latter is the rising interest in outdoor exercise and entertaining, which markedly shaped garden design in this period. They produced a conundrum or paradox for the late Victorian and Edwardian garden as both a work of art and a space for sport.
