The archive comprises original garden plans and drawings for 21 clients during the period 1957-1973, when Cane was in his late 70s to early 90s. Plans range from sketchy outlines to fine, detailed layouts, and two items are most likely impressions of the appearance of a finished project. Many plans are labelled ‘Office copy’. The majority of plans are carefully dated and labelled with the client’s name, but in many instances the name or location of the property is not given, though some have been identified through research. Many plans show planting layouts for beds, with names and positions of plants, and some have lists of plants at the edges. The plans reflect the ideas and work of the final 16 years in the career of one of the most sought-after designers of the 20th century.
