8 metres is the length of an average orca, or 2 and a half mini coopers.

12 metres is 6 front doors laid flat, end to end, or the length of a large shipping container.

2m is the length of a bed, or approximately the width of a Super King Bed. So 24 super king beds would cover it, 4 rows of 6 beds.

50 hamsters x 68 bananas (average lengths).

That would be a standard Syrian hamster, not the dinky Russian ones.

It's about the size of ours. Big enough for a v small lawn, a flower bed, a tiny pond, eating area for 8, 2 sitting areas for 2 people...and s 6 x 8 greenhouse.

It's about a quarter the size of an Olympic swimming pool. Give or take.

LOL - love the measurement units!
I googled your garden measurement and the first thing that appeared was this ad by a garden designer with pics of the exact size of garden. (No planting plan, sadly) https://www.lucienew.co.uk/portfolio/wildlife-friendly-garden/

Go on Google earth and measure gardens you know / spaces near you. It will give you a good idea.
