A garden will be made so as to contain two square sections, one section with side length 5+6\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{6} yards and one section with side length 2+3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} yards. Simplify 5+62+2+32\left(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{6}\right)^{2} + \left(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}\right)^{2} to determine the total area of the garden. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
