This very simple plan of a garden, used by The Chief, has in it the essentials for all your garden plan drawing. Follow each step as the boys did and you will be able to make a drawing of your own garden.
A sturdy dibber. This needs no directions for the making. The cut tells the story.
WORKING SKETCH OF HOTBED Jack's working drawing of his hotbed. This was to serve for a coldframe temporarily.
A heavy stake like this one, Jack used in marking off his drills. It is adapted to just such work.
Made of hard wood this reel will last forever.
This looks like a pretentious piece of woodwork for a lad to make. George did not think so. The construction is simple. Note the good lines.

WHAT THE GIRLS MADE WINTER EVENINGS
PATTERN FOR SEED ENVELOPE Katharine made this seed envelope of rather stiff paper So it was of real service
Such labels as these, made of thin wood, serve as plant labels as well as being useful in the outdoor garden.
Josephine's box had too limited a drainage area
Make a flat like this one of Eloise's and so provide plenty of drainage space
This is the basket made and used by Katharine. It is a gathering basket just right for fruit and short-stemmed flowers
Gnomon pattern just one-half actual size
A pot-rest like the above is worth making because it lasts
From the ruler you can read off the exact size of the jardinière
Helena used a scale of ½ inch in the construction of this jardinière So the plan is very easy to work from

GARDEN OPERATIONS
From this plan see the scheme of trenching. Top soil from AA' is carted to EE'. Then the top soil from BB' goes into AA'. Continue this method and see that the soil on EE' finally goes into trench DD'. So all the top soil in this given area is worked over and is still kept on top.
