Description

Discover the origins of horticulture with The Roman Book of Gardening by Routledge. This groundbreaking work is the first of its kind to examine Roman gardening through a wide collection of texts. Spanning five centuries, the book brings together a diverse selection of verse and prose that celebrates the art of herb and vegetable gardening. Through vivid new translations by John Henderson, readers can explore classic works like Virgil's Georgics alongside lesser-known writings from Columella, Pliny, and Palladius. These texts provide a window into the daily life of ancient gardeners, detailing the practical techniques used to manage crops and the various obstacles faced in the field. Whether you are interested in the history of agriculture or the specific methods of planting and weeding, this collection offers a deep look at the efforts required to create a perfect garden. It captures the genuine delights and frustrations of Roman horticulturists, connecting ancient practices to the timeless nature of gardening itself.
