That's one of the things, isn't it? Because you say in your piece that Jonathan Bate is asking, as much as anything, the book is saying, what is a garden for? Why do we have them? Why do we sort of need them? And there's a number of answers to that question, aren't there?

Well, yes, I tried in my piece to sort of list various things that make the garden important.

I mean, one, for example, very simple is because it gives pleasure and delight.

Second, because, well, something I mentioned a few minutes ago, of a kind of refuge it provides, a space where you can be alone or with your best friend or your dog or whatever it is, just sitting there reading, breathing in the air and so on.

And then there's also, I think, the kind of symbolic significance that many gardens have had.

For some, it has a certain sort of religious significance, for example.

For others, a garden may represent peace or something like that.

We're trying to do something, aren't we?
