My guesses are (1) much was lost in a nineteenth century makeover (2) there is much to be uncovered by garden archaeologists at some future date.

I agree that flowers do not have these qualities. But I like the idea of faith communities caring for the environment and catholic priests would take to the bicycle then Bramante’s courtyard in the Vatican could once more be a garden – instead of a car park.
