I was taking a photograph. He asked why I was doing it. I said I was interested in garden history. He asked if I thought the Bagh-e Fin was of equal historical importance to the great gardens of Europe. I said &#8216;Yes &#8211; probally more so, because it is the best surviving example of the world&#8217;s oldest garden design tradition, originating in the Fertile Crescent&#8217;. But, I said, it could be looked after even better than was then the case. &#8216;What should we do?&#8217;, he asked. I said I would make a proposal and send it to him. As we drove north into the desert, I sketched in the back of the car. A friend translated my comment into Farsi and we posted it to him.
