Cultivating Gardens: Practical gardening advice through the ages. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
Botanists rely on floras, and apothecaries on herbals for the critical task of plant identification. Gardeners need practical advice as well as descriptions of plants—such as on the best times to sow seeds and graft trees, on the latest varieties, on bulb storage, and on tools and techniques. The exhibition traces the development of practical English gardening books from the late 16th century to the Victorian era, and follows developments in 19th and 20th century New Zealand, where new manuals were written for local conditions.

Description
An account of the resource
As well as writing his own books on gardening and arboriculture, the English virtuoso John Evelyn translated several influential French manuals. The first (1658) was Nicolas de Bonnefons's Le Jardinier François, a handbook on the cultivation of choice fruits and quality vegetables. The French raised many types of vegetable and herb and Evelyn's translation was designed to introduce some of these to the more conservative English market, along with detailed cultivation instructions. Four editions appeared between 1658 and 1691, variously illustrated. This is the second edition.
An accomplished piece, written originally in French, and now transplanted into English, by John Evelyn, Esq; Fellow of the Royal Society. Illustrated with sculptures. Whereunto is annexed, The English vineyard vindicated by John Rose, now gardiner to his Majesty: with a tract of the making and ordering of wines in France.
