Sustainable Living, Rooted in Tradition

Grow Your Own Piece of History

Our ancestors cultivated plants that were hardy, diverse, and rewarding. Inspired by these traditions, this site is here to help you create a garden that reflects the best of the past while embracing the needs of the present. While many of today’s staples, like carrots, lettuce, and potatoes are still widely grown, countless other incredible plants have faded from modern gardens and supermarket shelves. This site is dedicated to bringing those lost varieties back into the spotlight.

Explore Medieval Gardens, Georgian Gardens, Victorian Gardens, and Modern Gardens to find ideas that fit your space, time, and taste. Together, let’s bring history back to life and create gardens that are robust, low-maintenance, and deeply satisfying.

Why Gardening Matters

In today’s world, we’ve drifted away from the traditions of growing our own food, relying heavily on supermarkets for convenience. This shift has come at a cost—not just in rising food prices, but in the loss of the diverse, nutritious crops our ancestors cultivated.

The Forgotten Garden is here to change that. Our mission is to reconnect people with the joy and practicality of gardening. Whether you have a sprawling garden, a modest patio, or just a few pots, we believe anyone can grow something unique, rewarding, and nourishing.

Gardening isn’t just about saving money on your food bill—it’s about creating a backup plan for the unexpected. If we’ve learned anything from recent events like COVID, it’s the value of being a little more self-sufficient. With even a small selection of homegrown vegetables and herbs, you’ll have a reliable, fresh supply at your fingertips when it matters most.
