It describes a genre of garden that was enclosed as a practical concern, a major theme in the history of gardening.
  Having roots in the Canticle of Canticles in the Hebrew scriptures, the term Hortus Conclusus has importantly been applied as an emblematic attribute and a title of the Virgin Mary in Medieval and Renaissance poetry and art, first appearing in paintings and manuscript illuminations about 1330
