Although difficult to see, an examination of Wilton garden shows compartments with symmetry, and central avenues in the foreground. The subcompartments clearly show broderie. At midground, ellipse shapes can be found, with some kind of elevated structure, possibly a fountain symmetrically located in each half. The last symmetric compartment contains concentric ovals. All three compartments have many plants.
