Medicinal Plants and Vegetable Gardens

From the Antiquity to the Gallo-Roman epoch, horticulture was practised in our regions. At the end of the 8th century, this tradition was carried on thanks to emperor Charlemagne who made a list of vegetables, fruits, medicinal plants and flowers that had to be grown in the Empire’s gardens. He also defined three distinct places that every garden had to have: the Hortus or vegetable garden, to feed the population; the Herbularius or medicinal plants garden, for the production of remedies; and the orchard with fruit and flowers to decorate religious places.
