It was in the 19th century with access to plant species collected from around the world that gardening blossomed in the islands. It was also a time of great change with the enclosure of land when many small farms were lost and men had to find employment elsewhere. Some of those men became gardeners for hire. There were already established in Orkney those who had trained as gardeners in some of the great houses and gardens in Scotland. 'The Gardeners of Orkney 1837-1901' pays tribute to the gardeners who with skill and hard labour created around the houses of Orkney gardens which have left a lasting horticultural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 07, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48597294317789,"sku":"9781919610566","price":18.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/wMJx_Bh4_x9781919610566_bc90b64f-2ebf-4001-a3dc-a1834d379201.webp?v=1789696269","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-gardeners-of-orkney-1837-1901-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
