    I'm a little confused.

    Are you saying it's square the length and width are 28 metres?

    Fi so, then

    1.3m by 1.3 m

    Scale would be

    28:1.3 or 21.5:1

    What is the length of the garden. You missed that value. Lets say it is 100 m, then the scale will be

    1.3 : 100 or 13:1000

    Now plug is the given length value instead of 100 and you get the scale

    exact fit ... 280:13

    .... I would use 280:14 ... reduces to 20:1 >>> easier to work with
