Abstract
THE Institute of Landscape Architects is to be congratulated upon the appearance of Landscape and Garden, a new quarterly journal devoted to garden design and landscape architecture (vol. 1, No. 1, 1934, pp. 74. 2s. 6d.). The volume is edited by Mr. Richard Sudell. The Garden Theatre at the Herrenhausen, Hanover, is described briefly by G. A. Jellicoe, who shows by means of plans and photographs the lay-out of this very artistic piece of garden architecture. R. V. Giffard Woolley contributes a helpful study on “The Management of Small Spaces”. Various considerations for the production of vistas, and the incorporation of stone-paving and ornament, are given. A park to link Karlsruhe with the Rhine is described by P. Morton Shand, and particulars of an interesting bird sanctuary are included. Capt. R. C. H. Jenkinson writes about;“New Shrubs for Old”, and in addition to describing several of the more recently introduced shrubs, discusses possibilities for their artistie grouping. “Birdseye” is a series of aerial photographs showing forms of community housing in England through the last five hundred years. A. J. Cobb writes on “Tree Surgery”, outlining methods for the lengthening of life, or the complete repair, of damaged trees. The use of focal points in design is very ably treated by Hervey Bennett, in an article entitled “Where Shall I Look?” A series of photographs showing the illumination of gardens, together with a short description, are provided by Waldo Maitland. Some very striking effects, produced by flood-lighting trees, are shown. “Roof-gardens, the Lungs of the Future” are given adequate treatment in an article by Lady Allen of Hurtwood, who introduces many practical suggestions. One might advance the suggestion that the ‘extremely small spaces’ such as are included with the majority of present-day houses might receive adequate treatment in future numbers, though the editor seems to be alive to this need. A study of the development of the ‘garden city’ is promised for the next number (July).
