  3. Congratulations on giving us 26 great gardens...how many of them have you been to yourself? Some of them would be a bit of a challenge in themselves by the look of it!

    1. I've been to about half of them - the English gardens, Italian ones, French ones, Canadian ones, Chinese ones, and Australian one.
