Description

The Roman Book of Gardening is the first comprehensive collection of Roman horticultural texts, bringing together an extraordinarily varied selection of writings on gardening spanning five centuries. Featuring vivid new translations by John Henderson, this book pairs Virgil's Georgics with neglected works by Columella, Pliny, and Palladius to reveal the techniques, challenges, and rewards of Roman gardening. From the daily labour of digging and hoeing to the strategic planting and weeding essential for garden success, these classical texts illuminate how Roman gardeners approached cultivation and landscape management. Whether you're a classicist, historian, or gardening enthusiast, this unique anthology demonstrates that the fundamental practices and frustrations of gardening remain remarkably consistent across two millennia.

Key Features

The Roman Book of Gardening combines horticultural texts spanning five centuries of classical Roman writing on garden cultivation.

Explores practical gardening techniques including digging, hoeing, planting, and weeding that reveal daily life in Roman gardens.
