Le jardin de plaisir is a 1651 French gardening treatise by André Mollet, printed in Stockholm by Henry Kayser for garden designers and patrons. Its plates show formal garden designs: scrolling broderie parterres, knot and compartment layouts, and ornamental cartouches with acanthus-like foliage that a designer could adapt for pattern or ornament.
