INTEGRATING SHAKESPEAREAN BOTANICAL INTO A LANDSCAPE DESIGN CONCEPT

Abstract

This paper explores the symbolic meanings of plants in Shakespeare’s works and their application in landscape design. The most frequently mentioned species, such as the apple tree, rose, lily, and rosemary, were analyzed for their literary symbolism and incorporated into the design of a 150 m² private garden. The result demonstrates how literary symbolism can inspire aesthetic and conceptual coherence in contemporary garden design.
