House &■ Garden's 



Covering an acre and a half 

 in the heart of Cleveland. 

 Ohio, is the garden of Francis 

 A. Drury. Everything was 

 brought there — trees, rocks, 

 and the hills and slopes made. 

 City water is used for the 

 pools 



A NATURAL GARDEN IN 

 THE HEART OF A CITY 



\' IT ALE, BRINCKERHOFF 

 y GEIFFERT, Landscape Architects 



It is difficult to 

 imagine that 

 these secluded 

 steps have not 

 been there since 

 the beginning of 

 time. The garden 

 is an accomplish- 

 ment in the nen 

 school of land- 

 scaping — the 

 naturalistic 



.Aptly e n o u g h 

 this garden is 

 called "The 

 Oasis". The 

 planting is so ar- 

 ranged that the 

 surrounding city 

 is completely 

 hidden and its 

 noises lost in the 

 transplanted 

 woodland 

 growth 



Flowers are 

 planted around 

 the pools, giving 

 an enrichment of 

 color. Many of 

 the shrubs arc 

 also flowering 

 types and the 

 garden lacks no 

 natural interest 

 of varied blos- 

 soms
