In the article we study the image of the garden in Jacques Delille’s well known poem Les Jardins (1782). We argue that the structure of Delille’s poetical vision resembles in some aspects the scheme of the 18th century English landscape garden and examine some of its characteristic elements such as: irregular design, a representation of time in space, imitation of nature, the use of landscape painting techniques, etc.
