Synopsis
Walled kitchen gardens were found in the grounds of most large country houses in Britain and Ireland. They were designed to provide a continual supply of fruit, flowers and vegetables. With the aide of heated glasshouses, there would be out-of-season delicacies such as strawberries for Christmas, exotic tropical fruits, figs and grapes. The ......, The 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., Walled kitchen gardens were found in the grounds of most large country houses in Britain and Ireland. They were designed to provide a continual supply of fruit, flowers and vegetables. With the aide of heated glasshouses, there would be out-of-season delicacies such as strawberries for Christmas, exotic tropical fruits, figs and grapes. The remains of these gardens can still be seen, some converted to other uses, some simply abandoned; a few have been restored to their previous productiveness. This book examines the history of these old kitchen gardens in the light of what might be seen there today.

- n***k (1760)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller was very responsive and extremely quick to ship. The items also matched the pictures / descriptions perfectly, and it was all packaged for good shipping safety! I’ll definitely do business with this seller again, guaranteed! They’re easy to work with and the transaction was completely stress free. :) I’ll gladly give this seller my own personal recommendation as a “top tier” eBay seller, complete with a well earned score of a 10/10, A++++++++++
- 5***i (232)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOverall I’m pleased with the purchase of the glasses. They were as described and arrived in a timely manner. Buyer beware: the packaging was VERY poor. The box was barely held together with scotch tape and old tape from a previous shipment. Glasses were bubble wrapped, but the rims of 2 glasses weren’t even covered. There was zero filler in the box to prevent movement. Paying almost $18 in shipping, you’d expect a little more care in packaging. I was lucky nothing was broken.Vtg Sportsman Wild Game Birds Rocks Whiskey Old Fashioned Glasses Silver Rim (#127014081759)
