Parterre gardens lost favour in the 18th century and were superseded by naturalistic English landscape gardens, which emerged in England in the 1720s. However, in the 19th century parterre gardens were revived, coinciding with the rise of Neo-Renaissance architecture and the fashion for carpet bedding, which was realized by the annual mass planting of non-hardy flowers as segments of color which constituted a design. Level substrates and a raised vantage point from which to view the design were required, and so the parterre was revived in a modified style.
