DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe kitchen garden was designed to provide a continual supply not only of fruit, flowers and vegetables, but also of plants that had medicinal and veterinary uses, plants for flavouring food and drink, and those providing dyes, perfumes, narcotics, disinfectants, poisons and pesticides. With the aid of heated glasshouses, there would be out-of-season delicies such as strawberries for Christmas, exotic tropical fruits, and even figs and grapes. Once found in the grounds of most large country houses in Britain and Ireland, many have sadly fallen into disuse and ruin. Their remains can still be seen, however: some have been converted to other uses, others simply abandoned, while a few have been restored to their former glory and productiveness. This highly illustrated book explores a horticultural history spanning hundreds of years, and provides an extensive gazetteer of kitchen gardens that can still be visited today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBehind high redbrick walls at Chilton Foliat in Berkshire lies an extraordinary example of a traditional Victorian kitchen garden. This book traces its recent restoration from a neglected patch of weed-choked ground into a productive and well-ordered plot, cultivated with the use of Victorian tools and techniques and planted with 19th-century varieties of flowers, fruit and vegetables. The garden reflects the characteristics of the era - the inventiveness and interest in science, the constant quest for improvement and the strict social hierarchy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCountry house kitchen gardens were designed as perfect ‘grow your own’ environments and ensured that households were supplied with their own fruit and vegetables throughout the year.

A wealth of contemporary illustrations, material from archives, gardening manuals, seed catalogues, engravings and other documents, paint a vivid picture of the country house kitchen garden and its development over three and a half centuries. This delightful book recounts an important part of our historic houses and their national heritage – to be enjoyed by gardeners and non-gardeners alike.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDespite being a source of insults - swede basher, cabbage head, couch potato - the kitchen garden is as full of life, excitement and anecdote as the flower garden. Vegetables have relieved, and caused, famines. They have played a part in protest movements and been used to wage and win wars. Vegetables have shaped the world we know - while the American population thrived on 'king corn' (maize) and green beans, Europeans were hot-housed on a diet of potatoes. Meanwhile many famous historical figures have waxed lyrical on vegetables from Claude Monet, Thomas Jefferson and George Bernard Shaw to Beatrix Potter and P.G. Wodehouse. By celebrating our history of vegetables Bill Laws highlights the facts and foibles for our pleasure and edification. "Laws delights in entertaining us with curious facts, some well known, some new." The Garden "Fascinating and well researched." The English Garden "You'll discover a new side to the common garden vegetable." Period House "There couldn't be a better gift for the dedicated gardener." Publishing News
