Try https://www.medievalists.net/2025/03/what-grew-medieval-monastery-garden/

For a different take on the subject, try a visit to Mount Grace Priory in North Yorks, where each cell was equipped with a garden.  They've reconstructed one. There's also a modern garden to go with the post medieval house on site designed by Chris Beardshaw.  So plenty for Gardeners World fans  :)
