Why is the Iranian garden in Tehran one of Tehran's most beautiful attractions?

With the advent of modernity in our urban life, it is difficult to find a place that gives a sense of Iranian originality and history.

Instead of villa houses with hexagonal ponds and goldfish, small and large apartments are scattered everywhere, and there is no longer the former big gardens and instead, urban gardens are the only refreshing places in the city.

Finding a new place that has a trace of the past, filled with Iranian ponds and fountains and surrounded by ancient and centenary trees, can be quite exciting.

The Persian Garden is right in the middle of the muddy alleys where you will no longer feel like walking in the modern capital.

You walk in the streets as if by every step you walk through history. You will soon see the Iranian garden in front of you and understand what we are talking about.

If you are keen on a fascinating and varied green tour in Gardens, do not miss a visit to the Iranian Garden and stay with the Hoteloneclick. Join us to learn about the amenities of this park and its beauty.

Getting to know the Iranian garden, a garden in the north of the capital

If you reach the alleyway of Vanak village, a large and beautiful garden attracts your attention.

The garden walls, fences, and entrances to the garden show its newness but just go near the entrances to see the old, towering trees that welcome you.

Entering the Iranian Garden, you will find a 3.4 hectares area designed with modern elements and symbols.

Running water in the ponds and fountains, flowers and the laughter and joy of families is something you will experience upon entering the garden.

It is good to know that the Iranian Garden is also known by its builder's name, the engineer Mohammad Ali Mokhtari, and you will see the name of the engineer in the garden.

If you walk around the garden, you will find a total of 3 more entrances in the south, east, and west.

The interesting thing about the Persian Garden is that although the look of this garden is completely new and all the parts and facilities have just been added to it, the trees are 100 years old! So the green space in the Iranian garden attracts attention a lot.

Be with Hoteloneclick to go into the Persian Garden and see what facilities it has.

How was the name of the garden selected?

By repeating the name of this garden, you may wonder why the title of the Persian Garden has been given to this garden.

Before any explanation, let's take a brief look at the Iranian gardens to see what they look like.

And what is an Iranian garden?

Looking at the history of the gardens of the world, we will see, from the old times that every land has designed and constructed its own style of gardens, and this includes our country.

Iran is one of the first countries to develop a special style for making gardens known as Iranian gardens.

Of course, the Iranian way of making gardens took different forms over time and in different periods, but overall when we look at the gardens of our land, we see three distinct and common features:

• Waterways with a large pond and fountain
• A mansion in the middle of the garden
• Symmetry in the design and structure of the gardens

In the structure of the Persian Garden Deh Vanak a set of these elements has been used, including the existence of numerous ponds and fountains, arched porches at the entrances and the use of flowers and plants specific to the Iranian climate.

 Rows of Persian pine and cedar also emphasize the Iranian style of the garden.

Different parts of the Iranian garden

Of the 3 hectares of Iranian gardens, 2 hectares are covered by greenery. The rest of the features and parts of the garden are as follows.

2. Pools and fountains

If you have chosen the eastern and western entrances to access the garden, you will be greeted by the first elements of the Persian garden which are attractive pools and fountains.

The turquoise-colored pools that extend from one side of the garden to the other side are connected to square pools in the middle.

In the main part of the garden, there are waterways and several small and large ponds, including central fountains and six separate fountains.

You will find the largest pond of the Iranian Garden facing the main mansion or kooshk whose waterways stretch to the west, east and south entrances.

3. The main mansion

Enter the garden along the waterways to reach the center of the Persian Garden and the main Kooshk. Finding this brick building is not that difficult and it can be seen from afar.

The main mansion of the Persian garden or the Kooshk is located at the end of the garden and at its northernmost part.

Before this building was used as a café and restaurant. It is currently a part of the library and the Gentlemen's Library is there.

Another part of the building is the administrative part of the Iranian Garden, which is not open to the public. The nice and interesting feature of the Kooshk is the green and blue chandeliers.

Although not widely used today, it is an interesting background for selfies and memorable photographs.

4. Middle vault

Opposite the main mansion and in the middle of the garden ponds, there is a vaulted structure that adds a different look to the Iranian garden.

5. Library

There are two libraries for ladies and gentlemen, with the ladies' library in the northern part of the park and the gentlemen's library in the main mansion.

The working hours of this library are as follows:

• Saturday to Wednesday: 8:00am to 8:00pm
• Thursdays: 8:00am to 4:00pm
• Fridays and official holidays: Closed

The presence of ripe persimmons also makes these green attractive birds gather.

Photography

Seasonal flowers, old trees, ponds, and fountains and vaulted structures are the main ones.

Persian Garden Tulip Festival

For many years now, the capital of Iran has been hosting colorful tulips every spring and has attracted many visitors.

One of the first hosts of Tehran's spring tulips was the Iranian Garden of Deh Vanak. The good part is that this good tradition is still going on and the gardens and pots of Persian Garden are full of tulips every spring.

When to see the Tulips Festival in Persian Garden?

To see those charming tulips in the Iranian garden, April and May is a perfect time. Of course, since the opening of the tulips depends on the weather, the exact timing of the start and end of this exciting festival cannot be determined.

Sometimes this period starts in late March and until April, no more tulips remain.

Sometimes at the beginning of April fresh tulips open in the garden and till early May, they are the guests of the Iranian garden.

If you want to go to the Persian Garden to visit the tulips, the recommendation of Hoteloneclick is to choose the second or third week of April so you will definitely not miss the tulips.
