Default National Trust walled gardens
In article ,

These old Victorian walled gardens are now two a penny, they are everywhere
and you only need to go to one and you have done the lot.


Yes, in some of the gardens where there is little of the old structures left
I would use double glazing and UPVC and powder coated Ally and computer
controls and all the other modern stuff available including solar panels in
some of the gardens to roof the sheds etc.

Surely your same argument would apply? "Once you'd seen one you've
seen the lot."

The NT's remit is not about teaching the public to garden or
demonstrating modern technology. That's for the RHS to do, or modern
gardens like Eden.
