The rear garden is superbly presented, with lawns, a fish pond, clipped
topiary work, a well-stocked border and private, hedge screened boundaries.
In the
topiary work, labyrinths, as seen in the Villa d'Este [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED] and in trellis constructions, natural materials - plants, vines, and trees - were cultivated into geometric figures like spheres or pyramids, or into shapes reminiscent of sculpture like ships or human figures, or into natural shapes like animals.
