About this postcard

A star-shaped flower bed fills a circular lawn, with a round bed at its center and smaller oval beds set around it. A vintage automobile is parked on the dirt road behind the garden, and a person stands near the edge of the planting. Rocky, wooded ground rises beyond. Geometric bedding schemes of this kind were a common showpiece in parks and estate grounds of the early 20th century, where gardeners set out annuals in precise patterns and replanted the beds each season.
