Shiraz Persian Garden Revival
The restoration of an abandoned historic garden in Shiraz based on chahar bagh geometry and its traditional irrigation system.
This was once one of Shiraz’s grand private gardens, but after decades without water most of its trees had died. Historical research and old photographs revealed the garden’s original plan.
Water, geometry, shade
The main stone channels and pools were restored, and concealed drip irrigation running alongside them cut water use by sixty per cent. Rows of cypress and bitter orange were replanted in their historic positions, and drought-tolerant species replaced lawn in the beds.
The small central pavilion was restored and now serves as a tea house and small exhibition space.
