main image Market garden, Liberton, Edinburgh
Market gardens and nurseries occupied good arable land close to those urban centres for which their produce was destined.

The extensive glass-houses at this market garden would have been used as nurseries to propagate and raise plants.

Local specialisations included fruit growing in the Clyde valley and root vegetables in East Lothian.
