Taj Mahal Gardens Also known as the Paradise Garden, the Taj Mahal gardens are divided into four separate areas that span from the entrance gate to the mausoleum. Each is planted with fruit trees, flowers, and shrubs, while a beautiful fountain in the middle serves as a focal point of the design. The perfect symmetry that reigns in the gardens contributes to the feeling of peacefulness that oozes from this breathtaking architectural wonder. Jerry Trudell the Skys the Limit/Getty Images Central Park, New York City Central Park is considered a landscaping wonder, and its co-designers, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, are also credited with pretty much inventing the field of "landscape architecture" on this side of the Atlantic. One of the most famous human-made parks in the world spans 843 acres, or roughly 843 football fields, of meadows, waterfalls, woodlands, plazas, and promenades that attract millions of people each year. And while access to Central Park is free of charge, America's first landscaped park contributes to New York City's economy in another interesting way. According to a 2015 report, proximity to the park added more than $26 billion in market value to real estate properties in the area.
