On Hillside Gardens. 



Another interesting treatment of a hillside site is shown in the photograph and 

 plan (Figs, no and in) of a garden at Steep, designed by Mr. Inigo Triggs. In 

 the front of the house is a terrace twenty-five feet wide, with steps leading down to 

 a semi-circular grass terrace bordered by yew hedges. The next lower level is occupied 

 by two flower borders divided by a grass path. From the end of the latter another 

 flight of steps leads down to a green walk, which is enclosed on each side by yew hedges. 

 This slopes down to a round rose garden. The section which is printed below the plan 

 (Fig. no) shows clearly how admirably the slope has been employed to give a 

 succession of interesting garden incidents.
