Category: Gardening History

The Gardening History category at VerdeNook delves into the rich and diverse narratives of gardens and gardening throughout the ages. From the ancient hanging gardens of Babylon to the cottage gardens of medieval Europe, and the botanical gardens of the Renaissance, we explore the evolution of gardening practices and their cultural, social, and scientific impacts over centuries. Each post resurrects forgotten horticultural arts and revisits the pioneering gardeners whose legacies shape our modern practices. Understanding the past enhances our appreciation of the present and informs our future gardening endeavours. Step back in time with us and discover the historical threads that weave into the tapestry of today's gardening world.
