"Forcing Garden in Winter" is a section found within the influential work "Fragments on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening," published in 1816 by the renowned English landscape gardener Humphry Repton. This seminal text is a compilation of Repton's extensive knowledge and experience in the field of landscape design, and it serves as a follow-up to his earlier publications, which helped to solidify his reputation as a successor to Capability Brown.

In "Forcing Garden in Winter," Repton discusses the methods and principles of creating and maintaining a garden designed to cultivate plants out of their natural growing season. The concept of a forcing garden is rooted in the desire to enjoy fruits, vegetables, and flowers year-round, regardless of the external climate conditions. This section of the book delves into the practical aspects of constructing and using greenhouses, hotbeds, and other structures that can manipulate the growing environment to 'force' plant growth during the colder months.

Repton's work is characterized by his advocacy for a picturesque approach to landscape gardening, which emphasizes natural beauty combined with utility and the enhancement of the existing landscape. "Forcing Garden in Winter" reflects this philosophy by providing guidance on how to integrate these productive gardens into the overall aesthetic of an estate or landscape in a harmonious way.

"Fragments on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening" is considered a crucial text in the history of landscape architecture, as it encapsulates the transition from the formal, geometric gardens of the earlier period to a more naturalistic style that dominated English landscape gardening in the 18th and 19th centuries. Repton's detailed illustrations, known as 'Red Books', and his written advice in sections like "Forcing Garden in Winter" have had a lasting impact on the development of landscape gardening as both an art and a science.
