Jennifer, space doesn't make a more interesting garden. I have observed many times that small spaces are more interesting. It seems that as space increases, gardeners waste lots of it. Big trees can take up the equivalent of a city lot, and the trees often are not well-chosen. Huge areas are given over to paving or grass. This is not a result of the type of gardener. I can remember seeing the tiny garden of a well-known but to remain unnamed gardener. It was bursting with colour and fascinating plants. Then this person moved to a large property and the garden that was developed there did not have the excitement of the previous tiny one. Diane Whitehead
