In Islamic culture, a garden represents the earthly version of paradise. The word ‘paradise’ itself stems from Persian and can be translated as ‘enclosed garden’. Eram is the Persian version of the Arabic word “Iram”, which is “heaven” in the Koran. The name Eram garden is a reference to the beauty of the garden which reflects “heaven”. A very fitting name indeed!

A great little fact is that the concept of a Persian garden has spread from old Persia to other countries like India, where the Taj Mahal has a Persian garden for example.
