Packard Garden
- General
- "The garden is enclosed by the house, two walls and a hedge. The main feature is a large wall fountain and flagstone terrace, where colour is cleverly introduced by the skilful use of potted plants. the area of the garden is small, but the care and taste shown in the planting make it of unusual interest." (The Garden Club of America, Twenty-fifth annual meeting, 1938)
