Limits of country estate with first of gardeners gone (5)
I believe the answer is:
range
'limits of country' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for range that I've seen before include "Limits the area" , "Large, grassy land for livestock in the US" , "Old song: ''Home on the . . . . .''" , "Scope; line of mountains" , "Open grazing land or cooking stove" .)
