OK... I'm curious. I don't know much about gardens, but I'd always heard
that they were good examples of Medieval ones - but now, of course,
don't know if that was merely an assumption or what. Since, if I want to
hang out in a garden on a sunny day (well, a somewhat warmer sunny
day...) they're one of my options *G* I'd like to know about them.
Come to think of it, one, at least, is laid out in the geometric pattern
that you (?) said earlier was more modern... What about the espaliered
apple tree? On the (I think) North / Northwest wall - in the sun and out
of the wind howling down the Hudson? I've been told that's a classic
example of what they were doing... but my source knew plant science
more than medieval history of gardening, though he was interested in both.
