PAVILION V GARDEN

President Darden reported that in the restoration of the garden of Pavilion V the
question had come up of the use of the garden by the two families who will occupy this pavilion.
The residents of the back half of the pavilion did not feel that it would be possible in the restored
garden for the two families to use the garden jointly.

Mrs. Smith stated that the garden was ample for use by both families, and that the way
the planting was planned by Mr. Hopkins, the landscape architect, in a relatively short time the
growth of the shrubs would naturally divide the garden. She thought it would be most unfortunate
if the Lawn occupants of the pavilion were deprived of the use of this beautiful garden.

After considerable discussion, on motion of Mr. Gay, a resolution was adopted that it
was the sense of the Board that the garden should be jointly used by the two families.
