POINTS ON LANDSCAPING YOUR HOME 
1. Plan for year around beauty with evergreens to set off the house in 
winter as well as flowers for summer beauty. 
2. Work out a rough plan for your home, dividing your lot into three parts, 
as follows—A Public area, to be viewed from the street; a Service area, for 
clotheslines, utilities, vegetable garden, etc.; and a Private area, for picnics 
and relaxation. 
3. Foundation Planting—Your Foundation planting should be planned so 
as to provide a frame for your house. The shrubs should always be planted so 
as to emphasize the beauty of the house and never to obscure it. Always keep 
the mature height of the plants in mind. Use plants which blend well together 
and you may use groups of various shades or types of evergreens which appeal 
to you. Planting should soften the harsh corner lines of the building, give 
emphasis to the doorway, and make the house a part of the landscape. 
4. Shade trees should be planted with their mature size in mind. Plant 
in front to frame the house, not to hide it. 
5. Plant early blooming flowers and shrubs so that they may be seen from 
inside your house. Summer blooming shrubs are recommended for your picnic 
area. 
6. A free bulletin “Landscaping Your Home Grounds” by H. O. Perkins, 
may be obtained by writing the University of Connecticut, or from any Extension 
or Farm Bureau office in the state. 
7. We have a free booklet, “How to Plant”, available at our nursery. Ask 
for your copy.
