In research and also common meaning basically a notion of a garden is considered as a historically specified representation of a style and tradition. Saving this historical context in the present thesis author ask a question about the universal features of this notion as well. These features are especially important considering a tradition of modernism and the contemporary ways of creation of space. In the contemporary approach to the problem of space there are a visible drift of confrontation between nature and culture. This impact gives an opportunity of a renewed look on the issue of a garden. In this paper a notion of a garden is shown in the context of hermeneutics of H. G. Gadamer and crosscultural aesthetics of W. Welsch. This theoretical attempt let show the universal features of a garden on the symbolic level and reveal the universal anthropological functions of this notion. This context opens the possibility of the comparison between different cultures and shows garden as an geometrical, sensual and cognitive pattern of this process as well.
