Villa Gardens 45 



Example 5. 



The treatment in this instance is designed to 

 make the best of a garden which has one side 

 sloping. This is always an awkward shape to 

 deal with successfully, and the only feasible plan 

 is to conceal the slope of the fence by a stepped 

 arrangement of the trees and other objects, as 

 shown in the plan. 



The summer-house is set squarely with the 

 general plan, its back taking the slope of the 

 fence. The garden seat also may be made to 

 help the intended illusion. 



The large trees on the south side will cast 

 shadows, but they are placed so that the 

 shadows fall as little as possible on the beds.
