1 - TITRE : A New Orchard and Garden with The Country Housewife's Garden (1618). A facsimile edition with an introduction by Malcolm Thick
AUTEUR : LAWSON (William)
Publié à : Totnes, Prospect Books, 2003;
Commentaire : William Lawson (d. 1635) was a clergyman on Teesside in North Yorkshire at the beginning of the seventeenth century. He was a keen, experienced gardener who distilled the fruits of his knowledge into these two little books, among the treasures of early gardening literature. The Country Housewifes Garden is precious for its attention to the role of women: as cooks, lovers of fine flowers, and keepers of the medicine cupboard. Unlike so many of his contemporaries, Lawson wrote from experience: he got his fingers dirty not simply re-telling book-learnt knowledge. There is the ring of truth in his advice. While making lots of suggestions about the practice of gardening and growing fruit trees, he is particularly interested in the layout and design of orchard and pleasure garden. There are some fine woodcuts of knot-gardens and a garden layout. He is also full of information about beekeeping. And at the end of the two main works, there are two contemporary pamphlets on grafting and on picking, packing and transporting fruit.. Malcolm Thick is an agricultural and garden historian with a particular interest in food. His study of early market gardening in London, 'The Neat House Gardens' has been published by Prospect Books. He has introduced William Ellis's eighteenth-century masterpiece 'The Country Housewife's Family Companion', and contributed the chapter on vegetable production to 'The Agrarian History of England and Wales'

Commentaire : Malcolm Thick is well versed in gardening history, particularly relating to vegetables. He has written for the Cambridge History of Agriculture as well as many important articles on the subject. The book is illustrated with many contemporary maps and views.. Market gardening is the Cinderella of garden history, yet was an important source of food for many in England and deserves greater study. This book gives an outline of market gardening around London before 1800, and considers the role of commercial vegetable production in stimulating kitchen gardening generally, and its influence on the wider agricultural scene. As focus to its theme, it narrates the story of one small area of early market gardening, the Neat House Gardens in Westminster; drawing on MSS from the Grosvenor estate for new and arresting information
