The term "medieval garden" encompasses Alhambra as much as St Gallen. Historians and horticulturists thus prefer the term "monastic garden" for what is described in this article. Very few medieval monastic gardens survive, and there is little (lest I say none) information about the layout of non-monastic medieval gardens. I'll move the article accordingly.

An earlier version rather randomly ended the Middle Ages at 1400; of course this was about the point when artists, especially in northern miniatures, began to actually leave useful depictions of gardens. Johnbod ( talk) 20:50, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
I am going to add a sentence about Islamic influence on medieval gardens and medicine LeeLaiben ( talk) 16:25, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
I am going to add a sentence about historical evidence pertaining to the ruins of monastic gardens. Cobble2 ( talk) 16:28, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm going to reorganize this article so that it flows more smoothly and presents in information in a clearer, more streamlined way. LeeLaiben ( talk) 16:17, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi Lee, if overhauling, you could do worse than mention those at the Cloisters in nyc; fastidiously maintained and there are pics on commons. Ceoil ( talk) 17:40, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Okay, I'm going to start with the actual reorganization now. LeeLaiben ( talk) 17:23, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Monastic gardens had a well-defined tradition of horticulture within the precinct of abbeys and priories. Most of the information on plants known at various dates comes from monastic sources, and has been addressed by Alicia Amherst, John Harvey and others. Non-monastic gardens of the peasantry, the nobility and the royalty formed very different traditions, also partially addressed by Frank Crisp and John Harvey. I suggest there should be a Wikipedia page on medieval gardens covering what we know up till about 1530 (in the UK, slightly earlier in Italy and France), and another page on the 'early Modern' (preferred these days to 'Renaissance') from about 1530 till 1630 (in the UK, and rather earlier in Italy and France). 2.139.197.58 ( talk) 21:48, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
