CULTURAL LANDSCAPE TREATMENT PLAN ROBERT ALLERTON PARK, MONTICELLO, ILLINOIS

13B.

Adjacent Forest

The forest adjacent to the Fu Dog Garden has become overgrown in time, crowding the white firs and making the garden smaller than intended. Prune back forest to re-establish earlier garden edge. Maintain area outside the curbing as low meadow grass (see images on previous pages).

13C. White Firs

Firs behind Fu Dogs have grown out of scale and are dominating the space rather than serving as a backdrop for the sculptures. They should be removed and replanted. This could happen all at once or could be phased to minimize the visual impact. Phasing could be accomplished as follows: prune back woods as recommended above and prune fir limbs that directly overhang Fu Dogs; remove outside row of firs and plant new outside row; remove inside rows of fir at such time that most are lost and replant with white fir. Replant white narcissus, wild white daisies, and wild pinks, which are documented on 1948 plant list.

13D. South End of Garden

Path to goldfish pond is not visible from garden. Clear and maintain an opening to woodland path at south end of garden to draw visitors to this area.
