Market gardening: A Winters Journey from Mark Hole Cottage to Covent Garden and Beyond (MCF01_02_1305) - From the frosty fields of Mark Hole Cottage in England to the bustling markets of Covent Garden, it has been a time-honored tradition for centuries. This engraving captures the essence of the trade, as farmers toil in the snow to prepare for the season ahead. Fast forward to the present day, and market gardening continues to thrive, with innovative techniques like polytunnels allowing for year-round production. Witness the vibrant raspberry plants flourishing under the protective cover of a polytunnel (MCF01_02_1305). The horticultural scene extends far beyond the shores of Europe, with market gardens in places like the Flower Nursery Schenkweg in The Hague and the lush fields of Nuwara Eliya in Sri Lanka showcasing the global reach of this vital industry. And let us not forget the bountiful markets of Australia, where a field of broccoli in Werribee, Victoria, stands as a testament to the hard work and dedication of market gardeners, who continue to bring fresh produce to communities around the world.
