Monastery plants
- In stock, ready to ship
In the Middle Ages, a veritable army of Christian monks and nuns arrived in the North from Central and Southern Europe. Some of them were vegetarians – something very new at the time. The vegetarian lifestyle made it natural for these monks to cultivate well-stocked kitchen gardens. Self-sufficiency in medicinal plants was also important. The monasteries ran hospitals and needed large quantities of good quality herbs.
Over 100 monasteries were built in Denmark, many of them had medicinal plant gardens. Unfortunately, none of these monastery or manor gardens have been preserved for posterity. But at monasteries and in medicinal plant gardens, you can still see a large number of the medicinal plants that monks and nuns brought to Denmark.
The book contains portraits of a number of important monastic plants that have been used and some that are still used as medicinal plants.
Author of the book, Gunvor Maria Juul, is a food historian and herbal specialist. She has been an advisor on the construction of the medicinal garden at Science Musserne in Århus and the herb garden in Gråsten.
