Abstract
Using allotment gardens, tenant gardens, and stationary caravanning lots as examples, this article tries to clarify the aesthetics of these home separated garden types. It is shown that usefulness, home, and freedom are the basic needs of aesthetic activities and of aesthetic enjoyment. These needs induce different aesthetic principles. The special charm of the home separated gardens is due to the fact that the user is the designer at the same time: participatory aesthetics. -from Author
