Flower gardens do two jobs: 1. Provide 
cut flowers for indoors. 2. Harmonize 
lawns, shrubbery, driveways, walks, build- 
ings in one picture to be enjoyed both from 
within and without your house. Workable 
soil, light, air circulation and drainage are 
basic. Use portable planters over areas 
where soil, drainage or conditions of light 
make gardening hard. 
Low hedge or walls can define margins 
of a cut flower garden, or can be tied into 
a vegetabie garden plan and area for com- : 
post, tool and implement storage place, etc. 
All designed to relate harmoniously to the 2 
rest of the landscape. Other flower garden 
sites devoted to special, formal features, 
such as rose garden, herb garden etc., 
should serve as emphasis for the permanent 
features in the general home ground plan.
