Denmark's oldest garden book (danish text)

Denmark's very first gardening book, Horticultura Danica, was published in 1647 – a small, modest book of 129 pages + index, printed in Gothic letters and with drawings of pattern beds as the only illustrations. Here, one can read about how to establish a (distinguished) Renaissance garden and design beautiful beds, which flowers, herbs, and other plants can be planted in the beds, about useful garden tools, trees, grafting, and much more.

Gunvor Maria Juul has carefully adapted the entire Horticultura Danica into a reader-friendly version and commented on the content. She has spent several years finding plant illustrations in large botanical works from the time of the author Hans Raszmussøn Block. An exciting insight into the 17th century and an indispensable work for all garden enthusiasts and garden lovers.
