During the [[medieval]] period, monks and nuns acquired specialist medical knowledge and grew the necessary herbs in specialist gardens. Typical plants were [[rosemary]], [[parsley]], [[Common sage|sage]], [[marjoram]], [[thyme]], [[mint]], [[rue]], [[angelica]], [[Bay leaf|bay]], [[oregano]], [[dill]] and [[basil]]. With the advance of medical and botanical sciences in [[Renaissance]] Europe, monastic herb gardens developed into [[botanical gardens]]. The section in which herbs was grown became known as a &#039;&#039;&#039;Garden of Simples&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> Herb gardens experienced a revival with the work of the [[United Kingdom|British]] garden historian and horticultural, writer [[Eleanour Sinclair Rohde]] (1882–1950). Modern herb gardens may be purely functional or may be ornamental, sometimes as part of a design and containing boxes and raised [[bed]]s. The development of [[alternative medicine]] is also encouraging people to grow and use fresh herbs (e.g., for the treatment of [[acne]]).<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Herbalism]]<br /> *[[Apothecary]]<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.herbalremediesinfo.com/growing-medicinal-herbs.html Growing Medicinal Herbs]<br /> * [http://www.usna.usda.gov/Gardens/collections/herb.html National Herb Garden], [[United States National Arboretum]]<br /> * [http://nnlm.gov/pnr/uwmhg/ Medicinal Herb Garden], [[University of Washington]], USA<br /> * [http://www.backyardgardener.com/herb/ Herb gardening]<br /> * [http://www.keengrower.com/2007/07/02/indoor-herbs-vs-outdoor-herbs/ Indoor Herb Gardening Versus Outdoor Herb Gardening]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{gardening-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Herb gardens| ]]<br /> [[Category:History of medicine]]</div>
