WALLED and PAVED TOWN GARDENS 
W HENEVER you come upon a 
particularly satisfying and suc¬ 
cessful town garden you notice 
that it is something more than a bit 
of frail design set with ornaments in 
stone and cement. Nothing as slight as 
that can exist in the city where a gar¬ 
den must hold its own in sturdiness and 
permanency with the walls and houses 
that rise around it. In Summer, per¬ 
haps, foliage that is fortunate enough 
to attain a luxuriant stage will seem 
comparatively substantial; but a town 
garden is not essentially a Summer gar¬ 
den. More than any other kind it is 
one to be used and seen at all seasons. 
Therefore it is necessary that the gar¬ 
den in the city should be built into its 
site and treated with materials that will 
give it immediately a feeling of solidity. 
Town gardens, as a rule, make two 
requests. In the first place, they ask 
that they be paved in some fashion. 
In the second place they urge that they 
may be allowed to enjoy a variety of 
levels. There are good reasons behind 
both entreaties. As to the wisdom of 
paving it is well known that grass can¬ 
not thrive in the city under the best 
circumstances, and that it can hardly 
exist when it is used as the floor 
covering of the garden and is walked 
upon continuously. Moreover, a town 
garden, being an outdoor room, is apt 
to be walked in during hours of fair 
weather at any season of the year, 
and it is necessary that it presents a 
firm and dry surface at all times. As 
to the matter of a change in levels, the 
reasons are both practical and esthetic. 
For instance, if the beds are set on the 
higher level and the paths and open 
space below, they will never have to 
undergo the disadvantage of poor drain¬ 
age, while the plants within them, being 
on a level 18" to 30" above the paths, 
will always be easy to reach. Then, in 
addition, there is a nice feel to a gar¬ 
den that nestles down into its site, 
with steps connecting the two levels 
and a low wall about the central part. 
The two London gardens shown on 
this and the following page have been 
granted the requests which town gar¬ 
dens crave. They have been sunk into 
their sites and they have been paved. 
Thus, while both gardens are quite 
young, each one gives the appearance 
of being effectively established in its 
place. The things of which they have 
been built and the manner in which

The plan of the garden pictured above shows how 
its retaining wall surrounds the rectangular space 
and returns on each side to the house, enclosing 
a splendid pool-set design
