:See also the ''history of gardening''. Medieval gardening, or gardening during the medieval period, was used by many and for multiple purposes. In many ways, gardening was the chief method of providing food for households, but also encompassed orchards, cemeteries and pleasure gardens, as well as medicinal and cultural uses. Gardening is the deliberate cultivation of plants herbs, fruits, flowers, or vegetables. The gardening article discusses the differences and similarities between gardens and farms in greater detail, as well as encompassing the different gardens in cultures and eras. Furthermore, gardening was especially important in the monasteries, as they were used extensively by the monks and created a way of life, supplying their overall livelihood.〔Voigts, L.E. (1979). Anglo-Saxon Plant Remedies and the Anglo-Saxons. Isis, 70(2): 250-268〕 Typically, many of the fruits, vegetables, and herbs that were grown were utilized in multiple ways and over multiple parts of the garden, such as peaches grown in orchards as well as used for closing bleeding wounds.〔Wallis, F. (2010). Medieval Medicine: A Reader. Toronto, Canada: University of Toronto Press〕 == Historical evidence == Humans' relationship with plants is almost as old as humans as a species. The majority of our knowledge about the methods and means of gardens in the Middle Ages comes through archaeology, surviving textual documentation, and surviving artworks such as paintings, tapestry and illumination. The early Middle Ages brings us a surprisingly clear snapshot of the European gardening situation at the time of Charlemagne with the survival of three important documentations: the Capitulare of Charlemagne, Walafrid Strabo's poem Hortulus, and the Plan of St Gall which depicts three garden areas and lists what was grown. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Medieval gardening」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
