(A) dwelling house with its out-buildings and curtilage and adjacent land assigned to the use thereof. In "Monks" v. "Dykes"(1839) 4 M. & W. 567, it was said that a messuage and a dwelling-house are substantially the same thing, and therefore if rooms are so occupied as to be in fact a dwelling-house, they may be described as a messuage. As a word of conveyance, "messuage" includes not only the buildings but also the curtilage, orchard and garden belonging thereto.(Jowitt's, 2nd ed. 1977, p. 1179)

Border les parterres de fleurs. Il existe de multiples façon de délimiter et d'embellir les parterres de fleurs. [...] Si vous aimez la pierre, évitez de choisir des pierres à bords tranchants. Dressées en bordure, elles pourraient blesser les enfants ou toute autre personne chutant sur la bordure. On peut aussi créer une bordure plate en alignant à plat des pierres, des briques ou tout autre matériau d'extérieur. Ce genre de bordure facilite le passage de la tondeuse puisque l'on peut rouler dessus pour couper la pelouse.

CONT

The modern garden prototype emerged out of a changed conception of what a garden should be.... It is typically small and enclosed by fences or walls, frequently confined to the back of the lot, the front being occupied with garage, guest parking and entry. The entire garden space is divided according to uses and the outdoor areas are connected by doors to the rooms of the house, e. g., kitchen to herbs, vegetables, garbage, and storage, living room to terrace and barbecue. It is used intensively for outdoor recreation, games, sunbathing, swimming, eating and drinking. Privacy is desirable. This garden type seems to represent the ideal for people of all income groups in many parts of the world today.

CONT

Shrubs and vines ... often form the largest part of modern gardens since their cultivation requires less labour than that of herbaceous plants, and some flowering shrubs have extended blooming periods.

  • Architecture paysagère
CONT

Le jardin moderne, que les paysagistes veulent rendre plus "fonctionnel" et mieux adapté aux loisirs, comprend essentiellement une surface gazonnée à peu près ininterrompue. Les allées compliquées ont presque entièrement disparu; seules subsistent, près de l'habitation, des voies d'accès, soulignées par une végétation appropriée. Ailleurs, on circule sur des dallages, sur des passe-pieds mis en évidence par une végétation pittoresque, arbustes aux rameaux divariqués, conifères aux branches étalées, plantes vivaces épanouies surtout au printemps et dont l'ensemble compose un décor aimable, varié et reposant.
