Makes me think of the Gertrude Jekyll 'joke' that gets recycled here every
so often: "no matter how small your garden, always set aside an acre for
woodland". ;-)
I read yesterday that Prince Charles's Highrove "only" employs 10 gardeners.
It drives me wild when books or tv shows go on about "small" gardens and
then show something close to an acre. If only I could have such a "small"
garden!
It's all so relative, isn't it? Someone who has moved from a tiny terrace
or a flat with a window box will think one third of an acre is a large
garden and two acres an estate! ;-)
