How much land does a man need? A good question and a very famous line, and at the end  how ironic that a man only need six feet long, the size of an ordinary grave to bury himself after he passed away.  But in real life, we often think that we need more, the bigger the better, I might have this train of thought as well, wishing that I’ve a bigger land to plant more things.  I believe Biltmore Estate is situated on a 125,000 acres land.

As for Biltmore Kitchen Garden, it’s a four-acre garden that displays an incredible array of culinary and medicinal plants, vegetables and fruits, definitely every gardener’s dream to have a garden this size.

The girls are ready to work in the farm.

A very interesting ceramics pottery scarecrow, but it doesn’t look scary to me, might be to the crows.

Mints galore.

I’d love to have a green house like this one, a great place to house my tropical plants during the cold winter months.

Teepee trellis, they add height and interest to the garden.

I’ve never seen corns planted this way before, only in rows.

Ginger.

These trees look so neat, a great way to create a wall or fence.

There are many bees here,

This is a Sweetbay Magnolia flower, it looks so much like Dok Champa or Plumeria, the tree is right next to the Winery.

And I spotted 2 love birds on the Sweetbay Magnolia tree.

The Winery is not too far from the Kitchen Garden.

A nice view from the Inn on Biltmore Estate.
