Manager has no experience with our work

Would you consider this acceptable? I’m a team leader for a department that specialises in 80% gardening 20% cleaning duties. The old manager had a huge amount of experience in gardening and was great at troubleshooting problems with all aspects of gardening. The new manager is an office only role and has no gardening experience, although they do have experience with managing a similar department that has a lot less gardening and more cleaning. Would you consider this acceptable? The team leaders are expected to “step up” regarding the gardening, but there will be no manager meetings with the wider team (now deferred to the team leaders) and one on ones every other week. I’m a bit nervous of the unknown so would appreciate your thoughts.
