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.


Perhaps the NT should take on the mantle, they are very keen to show and
teach about the old ways why not the modern ways too

The NT is a registered charity, completely independent of Government.
It's legally obliged to comply with its founders Charitable aim, which
is to preserve and protect historic places. It's funded by donors and
members who support those aims.

If a charity fails to satisfy its financial supporters they will
take their money elsewhere.



My point entirely, if there is nothing historic to protect why build a
pastiche.
