General

Although the exact location of this garden is not known, it may have been in northern New Jersey. It is known that it was designed by Nelva M. Weber and was included in her 1976 book, How to Plan Your Own Home Landscape. A well-established garden at the time these images were taken, the site included elaborate ironwork, a pergola, a pool, intricately patterned brick walkways, and a circular lawn surrounded by perennial and shrub borders.
