From castle to cottage, nearly every medieval dwelling possessed an enclosed plot for growing herbs, food, and flowers. This illustrated survey of gardening lore from the era between the Norman Conquest and the Renaissance reveals a wealth of ancient secrets. Drawn from obscure sources -- scraps of parchment from account rolls, charters, surveys, and registers -- the book provides hitherto inaccessible knowledge about the plans, organization, and common uses of gardens in the pre-industrial world.
Both an excellent work of scholarship and a fascinating read, the book examines the location, ownership, purpose, layout, overall appearance, fashions, and workmanship of English gardens. It further explores the gardens' colorful and fragrant contents, describing castle gardens, pleasure gardens, lovers' gardens, and secret gardens. Other subjects include infirmary gardens, herbariums, kitchen gardens, and flowery meads in addition to the cultivation of orchards, vineyards, and beehives.

Not bad
Color: Grey, Size: 88" W
Claims to be non see through but you can, easy to assemble but instructions aren't good. Decent money value, quality is okay. Good fit, not very sturdy.

I just set this up and it instantly transformed the space. It’s lightweight but stands securely, and the fabric panels look clean and modern. Super easy to fold and move around—perfect for creating privacy in a bedroom or home office without any permanent changes

Lighter Than Expected — Perfect for My Garage Workspace!
I just received this room divider and haven’t had a chance to set it up yet, but I’m already impressed. It’s much lighter than I expected — I was worried it would be bulky and unstable, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all. It feels easy to handle and still solid enough for what I need. I plan to use it in my garage to section off a small workspace, and it looks like it’s going to work perfectly!
