Market Garden

Market garden. A garden on which vegetables and fruit are grown for sale. The (English) Agricultural Holdings Act, 1908, which repealed the (English) Market Gardens Compensation Act, 1895, has itself been repealed and replaced by the (English) Agricultural Holdings Act, 1923, which consolidated the law relating to Agricultural Holdings (see that title). S. 57 of this last Act defines a 'market garden' as meaning 'a holding cultivated wholly or mainly for the purpose of the trade or business of market gardening.' Market garden includes part of private premises so treated, Saunders Jacob v. Yates, (1933) 2 KB 240. Schedule III. gives the special improvements for which a market gardener can claim compensation; and see special provisions in ss. 48 and 49. See HOLDING
