My additional reflection would be: all good gardens, as well as coming from
the vision of their maker, represent an idea or ideas: e.g. as to what
nature is; social ideas; about time and different rates of change. They
also have a use, even if it is no more than strolling, viewing, sitting on a
bench. Some of the most famous gardens (16th C Italian, 17th C French, 18th C English) have intensely specific relationships to the activites they
contained.
