I have Planned 
have had opportunities of both planning and re- 
planning several gardens in and near Stockholm, 
and in order to help amateur-gardeners I will give 
a brief description of the three main types of garden 
schemes I have employed. 
On an island in the inner group of the Stockholm 
Archipelago (all-in-all there are 200 islands) there is a 
yellow-washed cottage on a rocky slope close by the shore. 
It is surrounded by tall trees. 
One could not think of having a conventional garden 
here, where one had to roll the boulders aside and 
dig up old roots in order to plant anything at all. Only 
those roots, tree-stumps, and stones that proved actually 
decorative were permitted to remain. 1 he largest and 
the 6 Garden ^Mixed most un wieldly naturally had to be left, and formed the 
boundary tor the 
garden. 
Wherever a 
boulder was rolled 
away, the hollow 
was filled with rich 
soil. Thus excel- 
lent places for the 
new plants were 
soon ready.
