Description
Summary:garden The houses were not set out in any particular pattern, but are from one to three gun-shots apart. Usually there are from two to six houses in a garden. This, of course, depends on the size of the garden. If several houses are in a garden, they still have front yards and some have front and back yards. Some houses stand alone in a garden that could accomodate [sic] ten to twenty more houses. Other houses have their yards and small gardens spearated from the house. But there is a close relationship between the house, those who live there and the garden. Land has always been a very important commodity. The gardens provided not only hay and vegetables but a place for children to play and animals to graze. JH 7/72 DNE-cit Used I and Sup Used I and Sup 1 Used I
