What is recorded here
Fonmon Castle Kitchen Garden in Rhoose served the castle through the 19th Century, turning soil into daily sustenance rather than ornamental display. The beds likely bustled with people chopping, carrying and tasting, while the castle watched from above. Such gardens fed pride as much as hunger, binding household life to the rhythm of seasons and labour.
