CULTURAL LANDSCAPE TREATMENT PLAN ROBERT ALLERTON PARK, MONTICELLO, ILLINOIS

7.

CHINESE MAZE GARDEN

GARDEN EVOLUTION

1912 (HGC-1) This very early view looking northwest shows the basic features of the garden: high concrete walls, privet hedges in an elaborate maze-like pattern, and Fu Dogs at the center of each of the two maze squares. Hedges are very low and narrow with groomed pea stone in between.

1915 (HGC-3) By 1915 espaliered apples and pears had been added on the walls and herbaceous plantings around the perimeter. This view is looking northeast with the Peony Garden wall in the background.
