Fifteen Solutions to Common Design Problems in Suburban and City Gardens by the Leading Landscape Architects of Their DayElsa Rehmann was one of America's first woman landscape architects and was an early advocate of using native plants in garden design. She also promoted the liberal use of flowers and welldefined natural borders, such as hedgerows, because "the beauty of the small place depends upon its enclosure." Noting that landscape design is often associated with estates, public works, and other grand properties, Rehmann decided to pose fifteen common problems with small properties to the leading landscape architects of the day to demonstrate that design principles could be successfully applied to areas of any size. The result was The Small Place: Its Landscape Architecture, now considered among the important books in the history of the field. Full of creative and clever ideas and with contributions from design luminaries such as Arthur A. Shurtleff, the Olmsted brothers, Warren H. Manning, Harold Carpan, Alling DeForest, Marian C. Coffin, and Elizabeth Leonard Strang, The Small Place features designs for both formal and informal gardens, a hillside property, a property in the shade, two gardens on one property, the planting of an approach and drive turn, and a layout for a city property, among others. Centered on the northeast, with gardens located in Providence, Rhode Island, Boston, Worcester, Fall River, Plymouth, and Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Ithaca, Larchmont, Rochester, and Flushing, New York, Chestnut Hill, Villanova, and Devon, Pennsylvania, Newark, New Jersey, and Columbus, Ohio, the book is complete with 100 plans and period black and white photographs.
