2). Orchards in English Pleasure Gardens By : Robert Erickson
The orchard in the Middle Ages was practically indistinguishable from the garden or pleasure garden. The orchard in those days contained, besides a variety of fruit trees, herbs for medicinal and culinary purposes and a few flowers, also fountains, seats, and the other architectural features of the pleasure garden.
Many fruit trees are said to have been imported from France, especially in the thirteenth century, and hence were known by French names.
