We can see a pergola in the back detail of this garden. We also see that the compartments have two concentric circles within a square compartment. We also can see low hedges around the square compartments. The square compartments and their concentric circles are bisected with perpendicular paths (thus creating four smaller squares), but there are two diagonal paths bisecting the squares. Thus the geometry shows nested squares, concentric circles, bisecting straight lines, and triangles. Trees grow in the compartments, and possibly there are fountains as well.
