https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alnwick_Garden

The Alnwick Garden is a complex of formal gardens adjacent to Alnwick Castle in the town of Alnwick, Northumberland, England. The gardens have a long history under the dukes of Northumberland, but fell into disrepair until revived at the turn of the 21st century. The garden now features various themed plantings designed around a central water cascade. The revival of the gardens led to several public disputes between the Duchess of Northumberland and various garden experts concerning preservation and the use of public funds.[1] The garden now belongs to a charitable trust, which is separate from Northumberland Estates, although the 12th Duke of Northumberland donated the 42-acre (17 ha) site and contributed £9 million towards redevelopment costs.

of course.... this is a bit tongue and cheek -

Considering that we've yet to properly understand most of the processes in our body, I think it's very hubristic to just think that we've "designed crops that don't kill us." The operating principle is "as far as we know," which isn't much to go by.

What's worse, the people behind these "designer crops" are purely profit-driven. Their sole motivation is the accumulation of capital above all else. They are only concerned about human health when the effects are too obvious to ignore. This is a failing of modern society, but that's a whole other discussion.

For an example, does eating modern refined flour kill us? Not immediately... So I think I'll take 2.5m years over 10,000, just to be on the safe side.
