De cultura hortorum / Über den Gartenbau

For all small gardeners and balcony plant lovers: Walahfrid Strabo's didactic poem about the herb garden not only reflects the author's love for plants, but it is also a still relevant, small botanical textbook. Strabo describes the layout of beds as well as the growth characteristics of individual plants - from sage to rose - and their healing properties. Viewed as a whole, the "Hortulus" is a highly edifying work about the blessings of nature as intended by God and the careful handling of it.
