40 GARDEN DESIGN 



" The Only Garden Possible ! " 



The word " garden " itself means an enclosed 

 space, a garth or yard surrounded by walls, as 

 opposed to unenclosed fields and woods. The 

 formal garden, with its insistence on strong bound- 

 ing lines, is, strictly speaking, the only " garden " 

 possible. 



All other gardens are, of course, im- 

 possible to the authors — the Pare 

 Monceau, the informal gardens about 

 Paris, Glasnevin, the Botanic Gardens 

 in Regent's Park and at Sheffield, 

 Golder's Hill, Greenlands, Pendell Court, 

 Rhianva, and the thousand cottage, 

 rectory, and other British gardens where- 

 no wall is seen ! The Bamboo garden 

 at Shrubland, the Primrose garden at 

 Munstead, the rock and other gardens.
