Walled gardens were an important feature of the historic demesnes in Great Britain and Ireland. They were built to provide a favourable micro-climate for fruit, vegetable and flower production, and were staffed by large teams of highly skilled horticulturalists. At the beginning of the 20th century, however, walled gardens were in decline. With increasing labour costs, and the ready availability of fresh produce, it was no longer economic to maintain self sufficiency within an estate.
