town garden
Small garden to the rear of houses, regularly laid out, with trees, shrubs, and paths, evidence of which in 18th c. Bath, London, etc., can be found. 2. Garden surrounded by railings, etc., in 18th c. squares, e.g. London. 3. Front and rear gardens of detached or semi-detached suburban houses, designs of which survive in Loudon’s publications. They became common with the Garden-City movement, seen as important for family life. Domestic gardens are perceived as extensions to interior living. (Curl & Wilson, 2016)
