AFHE Links The Herb Gardens Historical Perspectives Herb Garden Development About Herbs Further Garden Development Historical Perspectives The history of man's use of, and relationship to plants, is a long one. During the time of the hunter-gatherer this association was perhaps mystical but most often based on practicality. Plants were used as food, shelter, weapons, and also as religious objects. As agricultural practices evolved smaller areas of land supported larger and larger communities. The most useful plants (domestic, culinary, medicinal, and religious) were brought into cultivation, planted near dwellings and stored. The ancient Persians developed the first true gardens of aromatic plants, culinary herbs and planted trees. In the Persian capital of Nineveh municipal herb gardens were planted for public use. It was between 54 and 68 AD that Pedacius Dioscorides, a Roman army surgeon, wrote his famous herbal. Borrowing from works of Mithridates and others, he wrote four books dealing with 600 best known plants. Between 700 and 1200 AD European monks translated Arabic and Roman scripts concerning herbs into Latin. Secure in their monasteries, and skilled as copyists and horticulturists, they had the opportunity to grow herbs and other plants. Their first herb gardens were medicinal plant gardens (physic gardens). Future physic gardens in the sixteenth century were associated with either apothecaries or universities. Apothecaries wanted the medicinal plants for curative purposes or for barter. In universities plants were grown for purpose of study. The first university garden was established at the University of Padua, in Italy in 1545.

    I will always credit my experience in the National herb Garden with focusing my interest in gardening.” –Hannah Flynn, National herb Garden Intern, 2003.  
    http://www.herbsociety.org/nhg.htm
    
    Extractions: Home About Us Contact Us Membership ... Search The National Herb Garden was a gift from The Herb Society of America to the American people. It stands as one of the finest examples of how a diverse group of people and organizations working together can achieve a dream. For over twenty years, the National Herb Garden has fulfilled The Herb Society of America’s mission to promote the knowledge, use and delight of herbs. The garden includes hundreds of species and cultivars of herbs used for everything from perfume to cooking to medicine to flower arranging. Every plant is labeled, and interpretive signage helps the visitor understand the herbs in context with their history and use. Constructed on a two-and-a-half-acre site at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., the garden was completed in 1980 after fifteen years of planning and fundraising by a group of dedicated Society members. In the end, $200,000 was raised by The Society and was matched by a $200,000 grant from the U.S. government. More than two decades later, The Herb Society of America is still committed to the success of the herb garden. Funds from The Society support a garden intern and HSA members from the area volunteer frequently. Recent enhancements in lighting, irrigation, signage and walking paths keep the garden beautiful and accessible to all.

    Extractions: M any of us are finding ourselves gardening in smaller spaces these days. So, how about a plan for a small, raised kitchen garden that takes no time to put together and will allow you to enjoy fresh herbs and a few vegetables all through the season? Here are a few tips that will help you pick the right location and set up your herb garden. The location of your kitchen garden is important. Look for a spot that gets plenty of sun and is large enough to accommodate an 8' x 8' wood frame. There are several reasons to use a raised bed. With a raised bed you can create the right soil mixture. This is especially helpful when the soil around your house isn't ideal. Also, by raising the soil in a wooden frame above the surface of the ground, it will actually warm up sooner in the spring. Seeds tend to germinate faster and roots will be stimulated to grow. In the fall, you can cover the bed when temperatures drop and extend the growing season a little longer. The materials you will need are: (4) 2" x 12" boards, 8' long; (12) 2 1/2 wood screws; and (12) 2" x 2' stakes. For your 2" x 12" boards, choose lumber that is untreated and resists rotting such as redwood, cedar, or cypress.

    Extractions: If you are like me, gardening is important in your life. In my case, I think I'm pretty lucky to be able to make my living doing what I love to do. Where else can you get paid to help a hummingbird take a shower? Where taking a nap beside blooming hellebores is a mandatory part of the job? Where fragrance-testing roses is part of the job description? And, where you have to write about all of these things for other gardeners? It's a tough life but somebody has to do it. I love gardening but I love to enjoy it - to laugh about it and to live it. Laughter is delightful in the garden and I hope you share this with me. I also think the garden is a very human place - a place of sweet mystery, an opening to mystical experiences and one of the few places left in our modern lives where we can be who we truly are. The times in my life when I truly relax in my garden - to open myself to the spiritual aspects of outdoor life - are among the most treasured. I share my love of gardening in an informal (free!) newsletter.

92. Medieval New York: Cloisters Herb Garden

    http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/medny/herbgdn1.html
    
    Extractions: This cloister dates from the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century, containing capitals and some columns from the Cistercian abbey at Bonnefont-en-Comminges and other local religious foundations in the south of France. The simplicity of these capitals reflects the strict asceticism embodied by the Cistercian monastic order, shunning any decoration which might distract monks from the contemplation of God. The naturalistic floral patterns decorating the double capitals in this cloister are a reaction in form to the robust, grotesque figures of Romanesque cloister carvings. The individual raised planting beds, wattle fences, and central wellhead of the garden are all characteristics typically found in medieval monastic gardens. The herb garden in the Bonnefont cloister contains more than 250 species of plants which were grown during the Middle Ages. Its design is typical of a medieval monastery garden plan, but no attempt was made to replicate any one monastic garden in particular. Many medieval sources were referenced to ensure that the choice of plants was historically accurate. The raised beds, wattle fences, and central wellhead are features of a medieval garden. Even the fruit trees outside the south wall are in character, because monasteries were often surrounded by orchards. Plants not hardy in New York City's climate, such as aloe, lemon, and bay, are grown in decorative pots which can be moved inside in the winter, a common gardening practice in northern Europe throughout the late Middle Ages. The plants are all labeled according to their uses.

Herbs add flavor, character, and uniqueness to recipes. Used alone or in combination, they help to make cooking fun and enjoyable, and eating a sheer joy! Varieties: There are a wide variety of herbs which you can use. Depending on who is counting, there are 40 to 60 different kinds of herbs. Each one has it's own distinct flavoring. Most are easy to grow. There are annuals, perennials and even biennials. With that many herbs, there should be lots or uses, right!?! Absolutely! Listed below are the different categories of herbs. Note, many fall into two or more categories. Aromatic- Grown for their scent, aromatics herbs are used in flower vases or dried arrangements. Their oils are used in perfumes, candles, and toiletries to name a few. A couple of favorites are Lavender and Mint. Culinary- We think of this category of herb first and foremost. Most gardeners grow a few or several varieties. Needless to say, food would be plain and boring without this group of herbs. Some of the more popular include Basil, Chives and Dill.

    Extractions: A Kitchen (Barrel Half) Herb Garden This is the perfect size herb garden for city dwellers and/or beginners. If you have a balcony, deck or small porch this garden can work for you. It may not have all of the herbs you want, but it certainly will have the important ones to provide the fresh taste of herbs to enhance your summer cooking. First decide which herbs you want to plant. Purchase small transplants from a nursery. Select plants without blossoms and avoid long, tall, leggy plants. Do not plant mint or dill (they tend to overtake the other plants) unless you use a separate barrel half. For a pesto garden you may want to plant 8 sweet basil plants and 2 parsley plants. For a grilling garden, plant 1 rosemary plant, 2 parsley plants, 2 lemon thyme plants, 2 chive plants and 1 sweet marjoram plant. A half barrel will hold 8 to 10 transplants, leave 2 to 3 inches between plants and if it gets too crowded, thin by pulling up entire plants to use for cooking. An all purpose garden should consist of 1 chive plant (perennial), 2 parsley plants, 1 rosemary plant, 2 to 3 basil plants, 2 to 3 thyme plants, 2 sweet marjoram or Greek oregano plants. This will be a beautiful, fragrant garden, so be sure to place the barrel outside of your kitchen door or on a sunny deck by a window you can open.
