Large Garden.

Small Garden

Is there a parameter set to define size of garden?

I only know that when magazines and TV progs talk about "Small
Gardens" they are almost always several times bigger than mine.
Mine is 27 x 15 feet. (Front even smaller)

Well this is what brought the subject of size up. Do for example Garden
Planners, Seedmen, Garden Maintenance Companies, Nurseries etc, have a
'norm' which defines 'Small', 'Large'?

I know when I was in business and a prospective customer telephoned me
'How
much?', I had to ask lots of questions. If I ring a Travel Agent and ask
him
how much a Cruise will cost. How long, how many, where to?, but I have it
in
my mind, that somewhere, such as in your quote above, there is a
Small/Large
divide. Taking your size vs. mine, our is small 100 ft (depending on
whether
you count garage and parking space) x 20 ft. What would a TV Producer call
it???????????

As a designer I would have to say that your question is related to the
in-quantifiable notion of space. As others have said, this measure of size
is a matter of perception, location, existing content and intended usage.
Designers worth their salt do not charge by the square meter (typically) but
according to your project. If it is the selection of a 'Small Gardens'
book, go to the library and borrow one to give it a dry run!
Sorry, no help available!
