Reminds me of the Bullitt-Finches in "Blott on the Landscape" by Tom
Sharpe. You'll have to read the book to find out what happened to them!

We're strange people, we humans. I don't like that garden. It's
over-tweaked, manicured, tidied and perfect to a point that depresses
me. I like gardens to be quite a bit less groomed than that - which is
probably just as well!
