Garden Planning SummarySUMMARY Such a plan is typical in its fundamental arrangement of the small American suburban or country home of one or two acres. Most are less elaborate; all, if they would be successful, embody the same fundamental divisions of space and possess more or less the same features. Those who realize that careful planning can make any country or suburban home more pleasant and satisfaction giving will see just what steps are to be gone through to achieve this happy result. The site will be carefully selected so that it has natural possibilities, is large enough, has the proper exposure, and is in the right neighborhood. The house will
be located where it is accessible, where
it best fits into the topography, where
the correct exposures can be given the
different rooms, where the proper relation
with the various parts of the grounds may
be easily established. The grounds, in
turn, will be subdivided according to the
use to which they are to be put: into service
area, public area, gardens, private lawn;
each part will receive its due attention
as to detailed planting and construction.
Terraces, gardens, and lawns have
here been added to the development, which
might easily stop at this point. last basic garden
