The essay argues that a person’s garden is a true guide to their aesthetic culture. A garden reflects art values more readily than a house, and transforming it can expose the owner’s artistic priorities and devotion to beauty.
The article argues curves suit nature better than straight lines in gardens. It advises gentle sweeping borders, informal shrub groupings, and avoiding rigid symmetry. Even small spaces can use curved walks and low shrubs for pleasing effect, with a note about continued discussion on the next page.
