INFORMAL GARDENS AND NATIVE PLANTS 
The small city garden is usually planned on formal lines as the most logical and eco¬ 
nomical arrangement of the small lot. But if the lot is larger, the shape irregular, or the 
grade uneven, there is an opportunity for developing an informal planting in which 
native plants can be used effectively. We have made several informal gardens and are 
enthusiastic over this type where it is appropriate to the site. Informal gardens have 
several advantages. They are more distinctive and varied in design and less monotonous 
than formal gardens. They are less expensive to construct and to maintain. The plant 
material used in them is hardier and more permanent. They are more successful in 
partly shaded areas. And though perhaps less colorful, their effect is more restful and 
refreshing. 
Many of our native trees, shrubs, perennials and ferns are adapted to informal gardens 
and with the addition of a few large rocks and simple rustic furniture delightful natural 
arrangements can be made. Some of the following choice native plants can be used— 
Juniperus virginiana. Thuya occidentalis, Tsuga canadensis, Kalmia, Pieris, Rhododen¬ 
dron carolinianum, Taxus canadensis, Azalea, Clethra, Cornus florida, Vaccinium, 
Aquilegia canadensis, Campanula rotundifolia, Cimicifuga, Cypripedium, Eupatorium, 
Gentiana, Hepatica, Lilium canadense, Mertensia, Trillium, Viola, and the hardy Ferns. 
We plan and plant all types of gardens.
