Excerpt from The Small Place: Its Landscape Architecture
The idea for this book grew out of an intensive study of the small place from the point of view of the landscape architect. The actual formation of the book began several years ago while I was still serving my "apprenticeship" and much of the material was gathered on the occasional journeys for observation to town and country with which I varied the work in the office. During this time I have studied and worked on large gardens and rich estates and I take unusual pleasure in the opportunities for landscape development that they offer; but the small place still retains its fascination, for its possibilities, which are generally overlooked, are infinite, and its limitations, which are considered as drawbacks, ought to be the very means of its making.
