Meandering creek at Innisfree Garden

... that Lester Collins developed Innisfree Garden (detail pictured) over 55 years, and it was listed as in the National Register of Historic Places in 2019? Source: [1]

Technically, the article is long enough (2683 chars) but some of the material is replicated (in both lede and body). I'd feel more comfortable if it was a bit longer given this duplication of material. Perhaps expand a little on the nature of Innisfree Garden and what makes it particularly important?
The hook is short enough and sourced. Looking at the article on the garden itself, there the following information is provided: "inspired by scroll paintings of the 8th-century Chinese poet and painter Wang Wei.". This could be added to Collins' article and maybe included in the hook to make it a bit more hook-y.
QFQ is still needed.
Expand the article just a bit more and make hook more hooky if possible (though if need be the article should be fine as-is). Volunteer Marek 18:52, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review! While you right about the hookiness of the Chinese artist, we had that already in the DYK for the garden. Also: it's normal that the lead duplicates the body. Duplication from a different article would be worse, no? More later. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:56, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
