Bob's garden plan, drawn in 1961, an aerial
    photograph taken ten years later, and a photo from the roof of
    the house and looking the opposite direction, taken eleven years
    after that. The decreasing size of trees and shrubs from front
    (house) to back in the first photograph are evidence of his yearly
    expansion to the far line. By the year 2000, those trees in the
    back were seventy feet tall.

    
The long open vista of the rear lawn contrasts
    with the more intricate flowing front (top of drawing) and side
    lawns. The constantly curving paths shift the view of the visitor
    with every step.

    
A rectangular area on the left was used
    for propagation and nurturing young plants,while the orchard
    lay beyond it. Garden dimensions are 330 by 660 feet. New housing
    developments now border the property on three sides.
