A place worth remembering
The garden’s eastern “Back”
A historical garden website reproduces a plan from the Official Guide, dated around 1924. Its own commentary identifies the eastern economic section, called “The Back”, as the former site of tree-crop trials and demonstration plots. The author cautions that the landscape has since changed and says the crop trials are now largely abandoned.[1][2]
