A guide to Medieval gardens
Brown, Michael (Michael J.)2022
eBook
Medieval gardens usually rate very few pages in the garden history books. The general perception is still of small gardens in the corner of a castle. Recent research has shown that the gardens were larger than we previously believed. This book contains information and pictures that have not been generally available before, including the theory and practice of Medieval horticulture. Many features of later gardens were already a part of Medieval gardens. The number of plants was limited, but was still no less than many modern gardeners use in their own gardens today. Yet Medieval gardens were imbued with meaning. Whether secular or religious, the additional dimension of symbolism, gave a greater depth to Medieval gardens, which is lacking in most modern ones.
