A manor house isn’t the analogy.
Its farm house where control of dirt and vermin REQUIRES a surface that helps shed the first and highlight the second. That maintains a constant surface height.
The garden gate. Plants which impart a scent to offset the barn. Along sides or rear, herbs for cooking and medicine. A kitchen garden in back to supply the table. Trees for shade. Hedges to block winds. All fenced to keep out livestock.
Landscaping (drainage; rain plus septic) is as old as houses themselves.
Calling the whole a garden merely a way a denoting it’s relations.
Quit believing what that tribe publishes as history or cause. Use your head. To them the world is gaudy affectation.
