More about the book
The book explores the fascinating history of greenhouses, tracing their origins back to first century Rome when Emperor Tiberius was advised to consume cucumbers daily for his health. In response, a unique structure was built to cultivate these plants, featuring a roof that allowed sunlight in and stone walls that retained heat. This early greenhouse not only ensured a steady supply of cucumbers but also played a vital role in sustaining the emperor's wellbeing, highlighting the intersection of agriculture and health in ancient times.
