What typical gardens look like in 15 countries around the world

[french garden aquitaine]Claudio Giovanni Colombo/Shutterstock Some gardens are utilitarian, while others are just for show.  From French country gardens with charming window boxes to serene courtyard gardens in China, you're sure to encounter a diverse array of floral displays wherever your travels take you.  Keep scrolling to see 15 photos that show what typical gardens look like in different countries around the world.  "VIEWING GARDENS" ARE POPULAR IN GERMANY, AND SHOWCASE AN ECLECTIC VARIETY OF PLANTS. Esther Westerveld/Flickr While gardening became popular in Germany in the early 20th century, the post-war era saw the rise of the Sichtungsgarten ("viewing garden") — a hub for amateur gardeners and garden designers to learn about different plant varieties.  Situated in Weinheim in the Rhineland region, Hermannshof is a well-known viewing garden where visitors can check out 30 distinct plantings.        DUTCH LANDSCAPE ARTIST MIEN RUYS HELPED PIONEER MODERN GARDENING IN THE NETHERLANDS, WHERE LAWNS WITH FLOWER BORDERS SURROUNDED BY BRICK AND STONEWORK ARE COMMON. Drozdowski/Shutterstock In the 1950s, suburban gardens in the Netherlands were influenced by Dutch landscape artist Mien Ruys. Her signature design emphasized lawns with flower borders that were surrounded by brick and stonework.  While tulips are synonymous with Dutch gardens, you'll also find other flower varieties such as anemones, roses, and crocuses.  WHITEWASHED WALLS AND DROUGHT-TOLERANT PLANTS LIKE BOUGAINVILLEA HELP GARDENS THRIVE IN GREECE'S HOT MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE. Kite_rin/Shutterstock In Greece, gardens are designed to thrive in the extreme Mediterranean climate. According to the blog Gardenista, some key elements of a Greek garden include whitewashed walls (to reflect the sun's heat) and hardy, drought-tolerant plants like bougainvillea. Terracotta pots, whose porousness makes over watering difficult, are also common.  SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER SEE ALSO: * 11 bachelorette party horror stories that will make you want to call the whole thing off * 10 horrible things tourists have done while flying * Most people are shaving incorrectly — here are 6 tips for doing it right
