Wooden Wheelbarrow with Garden Vegetables

Castle gardens supplied fresh food daily for the royal kitchen, guards, and resident workers. A wooden wheelbarrow filled with harvested vegetables illustrates the vital role of garden transport in moving heavy loads of produce across castle grounds.

Castle Gardening and Harvesting

Medieval castle gardens grew a wide variety of cold-hardy vegetables, herbs, and root crops inside protected courtyard walls. Single-wheeled barrows allowed gardeners to easily navigate narrow paths, uneven cobbles, and garden beds while carrying bulky loads. Gardeners relied on basic wooden wheelbarrows to move soil, compost, and harvested crops without straining their backs.
