A Guide to Medieval Gardens Gardens in the Age of Chivalry by Michael Brown

 Michael Brown created the largest medieval gardens in Europe featuring a tunnel arbor, a vineyard, a vegetable garden, a coppice and many other decorative features. He shares his historical research of medieval gardens here, telling readers about the symbolism, the Islamic influence, the influence of chivalry and other factors involved in creating a beautiful garden. He also tells fascinating anecdotes about Kings and Queens, garden saints and the meaning of flowers.

Stunning pictures enhance the book's extensive coverage. This will be extremely useful for passionate gardeners and historical researchers.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
