Knowledge initially transformed the Garden of England (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kent

'garden of england' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'knowledge initially transformed' is the wordplay.
'knowledge' becomes 'ken' (ken is a kind of knowledge).
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'transformed' is 't'.
'ken'+'t'='KENT'

'the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for kent that I've seen before include "South-eastern county" , "County of SE England" , "Earl Lear banishes" , "Home county" , "County; punting pole" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
