THE WEST VAN NEWS July 29, 1927. GARDENS AND GARDENING By MINA G. HI TT LA N D SC A PE ARCHITECT G rad u ate in Landscaping l \ of C , Am erican School of Landscape A rch itec tu re and G ardening. Mem­ ber N ational lan d sc a p e Service. No. 2 The mildest thing you might say of a man who began the building of his home without having any plan of the structure, would be that he was unwise. Will you not agree that the same applies to the man who starts his garden without the faintest idea of how he will finish it? In a very short time he has a collection of material, arranged with no thought of the morrow and is consequently faced with the task of rearrangement, ne­ cessitated by the unlooked for development of some small shrub (which has rewarded his kindly interest by springing blithely up to unthought of pro­ portions and prominence, prob­ ably at the same time dwarfing some particularly desirable and less hardy neighbor) or the un­ fortunate placing of bulbs and other plants of a limited season of bloom, and the planting of flowers in situations to which they are not adapted. This makes his garden one of contin­ ual change surely, but hardly in the way most desired. If on the other hand, he has had from the beginning a plan in mind for his garden, which even though he were unable to carry it out in complete detail immediately, would govern the purchase arrangement of such material as would provide a foundation on which to build, the work would proceed toward an orderly realization of his scheme. It is an excellent plan to make your garden on paper first. Draw your lot to scale--10 feet to the inch is a workable scale-- and accurately locate your house, driveway and paths. Such gar­ den accessories as summer hous­ es, seats, also trees and shrubs which you desire to retain should also be indicated. This guide will give you immeasurable aid in working out your garden de­ sign, which may be changed and re-arranged until you have evolv­ ed a plan suitable to your grounds and one that will satis­ factorily take care of your indiv­ idual needs. Make your changes on paper: you will find a pencil a lighter tool than a shovel. To many, the main reason for a garden is the recreation, out­ door exercise obtained. Others may be desirous merely of im­ proving the appearance of their grounds, thereby increasing the value of their property, to still others the only reason for a gar­ den is the growing of flowers. Some may wish to specialize or experiment with a particular plant. However, a garden under any excuse is a laudable enter­ prise ami much to be encouraged. For beginners the book. "Plan­ ning Your Garden" by W. S. Roger will be found to be of great assistance. For those who do not desire or who have not the time to plan their own gar­ den a complete sketch and plant­ ing list with approximate cost of plants and shrubs may be obtain­ ed from a competent Landscape Architect at a cost of not more than $15.00 for the average city lot. The securing of some well conceived working plan is strong­ ly recommended as gardens hap­ hazardly made are seldom suc­ cessful from an artistic point of view.

Many have already taken this opportunity of acquiring a mem­ bership in the club at a very rea­ sonable fee. Only one member­ ship is needed for the family and the club membership is limited. The club has one of the sport­ iest courses in the province and it will become an important cen­ tre of social activities. The or­ ganizers have spent considerable money in development and are anxious that West Vancouver residents should feel that this is their own-club.
