According to Boyce, in the west wall of the garden was a smaller arched niche, which may also have been a lararium.

He also mentioned the shallow rectangular niche in the east wall of the atrium, see VII.15.12.

According to Jashemski, the small garden which was excavated in 1872-3 was at the rear of the house. It had a roofed passageway on the north and west side. A low wall separated the garden from the passageway. There was a bench (or raised planting bed?) along the east and south walls.  See Jashemski, W. F., 1993.
