The English Style of Kitchen Garden Out Back Appeared in America as Well
When I visited the eighteenth century house and garden at Rousham in England, I noted the large walled garden to the side of the house. There I saw rows and rows of shrubs, vines, and flowers.

In his garden I also saw rows and rows of plants, but this time they were vegetables, beautifully arranged for the gardener to find easily any herb or vegetables [below].
A kitchen garden out back was the style of the modern England landscape of the eighteenth century.
Landscape gardener Humphry Repton wrote at the end of that century that the kitchen garden “should be out of view of visitors but close to the stables”.
Indeed that is what happened.
When the nineteenth century American seedsman Peter Henderson provided advice about the placement of the kitchen garden in his book tips for writing a online dating profile, his landscape drawings in the book indicated the garden ought to be behind the house.
The Rochester, NY seedsman James Vick offered a similar recommendation in his catalog.
