Consensus request for editing introductory statement of "Garden" section.

Section 3.2 begins with a confusing and unrelated fact regarding the use of gardens during the medieval era:

"During periods of political unrest and military invasion, gardens became essential for community survival.[116]"

The source cited (ISBN 978-0-87099-775-4) is text on both the gardens at The Cloisters, and the history of medieval gardens themselves. Though interesting, and perhaps relevant somewhere else in the article, this statement is a non-sequitor in its current context and should be removed from the garden section. Rimless Spectacles 25 January 2021 (UTC)

I think it should probably be removed. Ceoil (talk) 17:02, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:53, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rockefeller's Palisades donation

"In 1933, Rockefeller donated several hundred acres of the New Jersey Palisades clifftops, which he had purchased over several years for the Palisades Interstate Park Commission to preserve the land from further development." Why is this relevant? Was this land across the Hudson even visible from the Cloisters on Manhattan? PRRfan (talk) 15:35, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The original myth is often used by the Cloisters to say "Rockefeller purchased the land across the river so that the Cloisters had a nice view" It is visible from the Cloisters, which is right along the Hudson River overlooking the Palisades. PalisadesResearch (talk) 16:16, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind if the sentence is removed, but the original sentence was already incorrect and thought to be connected to the section. Thank you! PalisadesResearch (talk) 16:18, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks both, much clearer now. Ceoil (talk) 17:25, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
