Comments on: Historic period? http://www.gardenhistorysociety.org/post/forum/historic-period/ The Garden History Society (GHS) is the oldest society in the world dedicated to the conservation and study of historic designed gardens and landscapes. Through our interventions, advice and casework we have helped save or conserve scores of important gardens since we were founded by a small but dedicated band of garden-lovers in 1966.

Susan Campbell has written a comprehensive study in 'A History of kitchen Gardening' and also 'Walled Kitchen Gardens', a short book for Shires publishing. 'The Kitchen Garden' by David C. Stuart is good especially on plants. These books may also have useful bibliographies, including contemporary sources. There is a kitchen garden website: www.walledgardens.net which may be useful. There are several restored 19th century kitchen gardens, but not so many earlier ones. Some Working Walled Kitchen Gardens at National Trust Properties include: Arlington Court, Devon Barrington Court, Somerset Beningbrough Hall, Yorkshire Calke Abbey, Derbyshire Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire Coleshill, Wiltshire Greys Court, Oxfordshire Ham House, London Hanbury Hall, Worcestershire Knightshayes Court, Devon Llanerchaeron, Ceredigion Oxburgh Hall, Norfolk Snowshill Manor, Gloucestershire Tatton Park, Cheshire Tintinhull, Somerset Trengwainton, Cornwall Upton House, Warwickshire Wimpole Hall, Cambridgeshire There are several private ones too that may be featured on the walled gardens website. Hope this is of some help Helene Gammack Hello Lisa
