A category in the niche real estate market containing property with good gardens. The market can be sub-classified as follows:
- Property with gardens by well-known Landscape designers. This is normally the work of designers whose work has been published in books and magazines. The art market equivalent is the work of artists who are recognized, and has a market value, because their work has been exhibited and catalogued.
- Property with gardens by people who hold professional qualifications in garden design, landscape design, or landscape architecture.
- Property with large and/or beautiful gardens designed by their owners.
Since gardens are a highly income-elastic good, the garden real estate sector tends to grow rapidly as countries industrialise.
Famous quotes containing the words garden, real and/or estate:
“Little Trotty Wagtail, he waddled in the mud,
And left his little footmarks, trample where he would.
He waddled in the water-pudge, and waggle went his tail,
And chirrupt up his wings to dry upon the garden rail.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
“A people’s literature is the great textbook for real knowledge of them. The writings of the day show the quality of the people as no historical reconstruction can.”
—Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)
“Wilt thou have this Woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?”
—Book Of Common Prayer, The. Solemnization of Matrimony, “Betrothal,” (1662)
