 The term geometric style came into use only when it was necessary to make a distinction between the traditional mode of laying out gardens and the newer [[Modern_style|modern]], [[Natural style|natural]], or irregular style. Geometric, ancient, and formal were terms used interchangeably to describe gardens laid out symmetrically in straight lines, with strong axial circulation paths and geometrically regular [[bed]]s [Fig. 1] (see [[Ancient style]]). The style was associated with French, Anglo-Dutch, and Italian traditions of gardening (see [[Dutch style]] and [[French style]]). In America, the geometric style continued to be popular long after the [[Natural style|natural]] or modern style was introduced. As part of a larger landscaped garden, the flower garden was a feature that lent itself to regular shapes. Early public buildings such as the Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia [Fig. 2], and Governor’s House in New Bern, North Carolina [Fig. 3], were laid out in a geometric style although, again, the term was used only after the modern style had become popular. The geometric style continued to be used in public places because of its long-standing association with centers of government.

 :“THE [[ANCIENT STYLE]]. A predominance of regular forms and right lines is the characteristic feature of the [[ancient style]] of gardening. The value of art, of power, and of wealth, were at once easily and strongly shown by an artificial arrangement of all the materials; an arrangement the more striking, as it differed most widely from nature. And in an age when costly and stately architecture was most abundant, as in the times of the Roman empire, it is natural to suppose, that the symmetry and studied elegance of the palace, or the villa, would be transferred and continued in the surrounding gardens. . .
 :“Pliny’s garden, of which a pretty minute account remains,—filled with cypresses and bay trees, planted to form a coursing place or hippodrome, adorned with ''vis-à-vis'' figures of animals cut in box trees, and decorated with [[fountain]]s and marble [[alcove]]s, shaded by vines—seems, indeed, to have been the true classical type of all the later efforts of modern continental nations in their '''geometric''' gardens. . .

 :“It would appear to be an undeniable fact in the history of ornamental gardening that, from the time of William the Conqueror down to the latter part of the reign of Queen Anne, and the beginning of that of George I., nothing was considered garden scenery except [if] it was in the formal and ''geometric style''. . .
 :“One of the favorite fancies of the '''geometric''' gardener was the [[Labyrinth]]. . . of which a few celebrated examples are still in existence in England, and which consisted of a multitude of trees thickly planted in impervious [[hedge]]s, covering sometimes several acres of ground. . .
