Historical Foundations of Flower Garden Formation and Landscape Design In Uzbekistan

Abstract

This article analyzes the historical stages of garden and park culture that has long developed in the territory of Uzbekistan. The study focuses on the formation of horticulture, landscape organization, and irrigation systems during the periods of the Bactrian, Sogdian, and Khorezmian civilizations, highlighting the social, aesthetic, and economic significance of the gardens created in these regions. The article also provides a scholarly explanation of the symbolic meaning of plants in Zoroastrian teachings, including the interpretation of trees and flowers as sacred symbols. The findings of the study demonstrate that the ancient garden culture of Uzbekistan serves as an important historical and methodological foundation for modern landscape design.
