Description:Characters in Shakespeare enjoyed an arbour in their garden scenes. The practice of enjoying the out-of-doors over a simple meal, or a drink out-of-doors on a summer’s evening may have been the setting Shakespeare had in mind for the Gloucestershire scenes of Henry IV, Part 2, (5,3, lines 1-72) where Shallow and Falstaff reminisce about their youth. A similar setting would have provided Don Pedro and his friends a suitable place to talk about Beatrice while knowing Benedick was eavesdropping nearby, in Much Ado About Nothing, 2,3, line 34. Full title: Thomas Hill, The gardeners labyrinth: containing a discourse of the gardeners life in the yearly travels to be bestowed on his plot of earth... wherein are set forth divers hebers, knottes and mazes... also the physicke benefit of each herbe, plant and floure gathered... by Didymus Mountaine, London, Henry Bynneman, 1577.
