Walled Garden
In earlier European days, before glass became readily available and
relatively cheap, the sunken garden was one way of creating a more
beneficent microclimate, thereby permitting a wider range of produce
(more vegetable than floral) to be grown. It also extended the season
— seeds could be sown earlier, and crops could be harvested later, as
a result of this primitive method of climate control.
