Garden 
Hide-Away

Outdoor living in summer can be fine and peaceful in your garden 
hide-away—a haven of escape from life's bustle and worry. Such a 
garden nook provides a spot for relaxation and privacy. 
Even tho you live in the heart of a city, you may enjoy a cool, 
shadowy retreat, colorful flowers and comfortable seats which invite 
you and your family to wile away happy hours, free from the dis¬ 
turbances of modern living. 
Oddly enough, a well-designed garden nook will add spaciousness 
to your grounds. The size of the nook and the selection of its furnish¬ 
ings will determine how well it will satisfy your needs. Pictured are 
a few suggestions. 
As an Abiding Place. On the small home grounds it's easy to 
arrange a simple corner of the garden as an abiding place, with a 
shaded seat and possibly some feature to add interest, such as a low 
birdbath or small pool. 
As a Rest Spot Set Aside for Portable Furnishings. 
The movable marquee, tables, folding and gaily colored deck chairs 
will make this area a much-used one during mid-summer late after¬ 
noons and nights. 
As a Place for Entertaining. Use the hide-away for serving 
tea and holding children's parties out-of-doors. 
As a Picnic Area. The hide-away can be designed primarily for 
picnic purposes, with a woodsy atmosphere and an outdoor grille for 
broiling steaks or toasting marshmallows.
