I'm intrigued that they are letting their gardens go wild and attempting to say it is a Japanese principle. Can anyone say 'bonsai' or 'zen garden?' But, I'm one of those 'chi chi' B&B's with an extensive suburban lawn (which we don't fertilize but we do mow) so my opinion is worthless.
My guess is they are tired of not being understood. Which is totally understandable.
But we all knew that bandb.com let any kind of property list on there, so let's not get wound up about that whole thing again.
SS- thanks for this post, it was refreshing. Seriously. I enjoyed reading their site..
