Albrecht, admiring Loid's rose garden: Quite impressive, you must have had a lot of experience gardening.

Loid, who lived in the Orokin equivalent of a commie block for the better part of his life and the most experience with plants he had were the few potted snake plants on his windowsill: ...you could say I had quite a lot of academic experience with gardening.

(translation: Loid read a lot of books on gardening to pass the time and daydream about the hypothetical garden he thought he would never be able to get)
