>"That is somewhat more within my purview, yes. The Academy has its own, of course - and a very good one it is, in fact, though perhaps not so... large. I had some role to play in this - its foliation, not its size, I should say. No, the space itself was enclosed long before me. In any case, the city has several of good quality. One of the very best can be found in the southwest quarter, alongside the river. Several are there, in fact - the land is suited for such places - but the one I speak of foremost is known as Ueyoshi Nurseries. Their petunias are particularly delicious, yes. Perhaps I should stop by there for an evening meal again some day...."
