PLANNING THE 1920'S HOME GARDEN FIRST CONSIDERATIONS Erick Herrera N. 10th C
Gardening of the 20’s • The first considerations in the composition of a garden or the grounds around one's place are privacy, shelter, and unity of design. • The garden should present a suitable, agreeable and comfortable composition.
Location of the House • Where it is possible to choose the location of the house the best orientation is southeast or south. In any case, as abundant sunshine is desirable, see to it that the windows and living rooms face in the direction of abundant light. • The north Americans used to have garden in a special room because they had plants who grew in closed places.
The Lawn • The lawn furnishes the setting for a house, and if it is trim, smooth, and of a healthy green, it will add the finishing touch to an attractive home which no amount of planting can give. Wide-spreading slopes or level terraces of turf are the outdoor delight of many homes, from the humblest cottages to the largest mansions. • The Americans used to have Laws in their garden because it doesn’t need care.
Small formal flower gardens • In each of the plans a little interest has been added by including small, formal flower or Rose gardens.
Vegetable and fruit garden • They used to have vegetables in their garden because when they harvested , they sold it • The most popular fruits were: Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums, Cherries, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry and grapes.
