  During the period 1500-1750, a general shift in gardening practice took place, from which emerged three distinct types of gardens: (traditional) subsistence or kitchen gardens, aesthetic gardens, and gendered aesthetic gardens. This work talks about the changing nature of gardening - from a largely subsistence endeavour to an artful practice.
