These jour views are 
of an English walled 
garden, a garden set 
on a hill exposed to 
winds that made walls 
a necessity. The gar¬ 
den is on the place of 
Mr. Thackeray Turner, 
near Godaiming, Surrey

GARDEN 
{Below) From the seat 
in this sunny recess in 
the wall one can see 
through an arch into 
the garden behind. 
This arched niche 
promises a windless 
spot where one could 
sit in cold weather 
When the sun be¬ 
comes overpower¬ 
ing one may retire 
to a little stone 
porch that makes a 
cool oasis in the 
midday heat. Con¬ 
trasted with its 
shadowed darkness 
is the blaze of 
Shirley poppies 
A garden architec¬ 
ture that shall seem 
a natural outflow¬ 
ing of the earth 
is the ideal of Mr. 
Turner’s school of 
landscaping. These 
walls are of rough- 
hewn stone fledged 
with plants
