Garden building art is one of the oldest Iranian art and it has been also mentioned in writings of the Greeks, Torah, etc. In the context of Iranian art and culture, garden is a mirror that indicates the people’s creative imagination and capability .  Ideal garden, a piece of earth which is positioned an example of heaven under our feet with all its farness. This article investigates the effects of aesthetics in the Persian Gardens and compares it with Gardens of three Western countries including Britain, France and Italy. The research methodology of this study is descriptive - analytical. The results show that while aesthetic manifestations in Persian Gardens are overlapping with each other, influences from the monotheistic worldview and Iranian traditional culture have created unique and specific works throughout the history.
