Abstract
The article has two main topics: the first is about the influence of Western and Eastern cultures on Croatian garden art, the second about similarities and differences in Western and Eastern garden design, with many historical and contemporary examples. Gardens of the Western civilization contain many features and elements ascribed to Chinese and Japanese gardens. Only some of them emerged in the West under Chinese influence, most are authentically European. This proves that many elements of garden art are always present, independently of when and where the garden was laid out.
