in Gardening, groves so called from boschetto, an Italian word which signifies a little wood. They are compartments in gardens formed by branches of trees disposed either regularly in rows, or wildly and irregularly, according to the fancy of the owner. A boquet is either a plot of ground enclosed with palisades of hornbeam, the middle of it being filled with tall trees, as elm or the like, the tops of which make a tuft or plume; or it consists of only high trees, as horse-chestnut, elm, &c. The ground should be kept very smooth and rolled, or else covered with grass, after the manner of green plots. In planting boquets, care should be taken to mix the trees which produce their leaves of different shades, and various shades of green and hoary or mealy leaves, so as to afford an agreeable prospect. Boquets are only proper for spacious gardens, and require a great expense to keep them up.
