A reference that Ras (and others interested in medieval-style gardening)
should find useful: _The Medieval Garden_, by Sylvia Landsberg, Thames &
Hudson publishers, no copyright date that I can find (but it looks like
the 1990's).  The author has designed gardens for a number of
living-history sites in England and Wales.

Perhaps easier for Americans to find is _Sweet Herbs and Sundry Flowers:
Medieval Gardens and the Gardens of the Cloisters_, by Tania Bayard,
Metropolitan Museum of Art 1985.
