In recent times, history of science is reviewing the concept of “science” as well as the “places” in which it occurs. Current trends in the history of science do not aim to exclusively cover the knowledge produced in laboratories in the fields of chemistry, medicine, physics and mathematics. “Gardens as Laboratories” is one of the new topics addressed by historians of science. Gardens are spaces of science in a broad sense as multiple sciences meet in enclosed spaces since Antiquity. However, in the 16th and 17th centuries, direct observation of nature, experiments carried out to confirm certain hypothesis in order to find general laws, accumulation of knowledge and its organisation took place in gardens. Gardens were privileged spaces where the methodologies which would characterise the Scientific Revolution were essayed, to such an extent that one can compare gardens with “laboratories” as they were both spaces of experimentation.
