Malva and mulberry - Selections from the gardens of the past - Teija Alanko
Strawberries and hops in the monastery, thyme in Turku Castle. Opium and marigolds in pharmacists' herb gardens. Medicinal barberry, lemon trees, tobacco plantations and plant archaeology.
Malva ja mulperi leads its readers from the botanical gardens to the fruit trees of the manors. The history of Finnish gardens is colorful and full of original personalities. Even the cultivation of rice and mulberry trees has been tried in Finland. The impressively illustrated work presents, in addition to historical gardens, more than 50 old useful plants that have been used as food, spice, medicine and dye.
PhD Teija Alanko is a plant archaeologist and biologist who studies the history of useful plants and gardens.
