Back by Popular Demand: 'An Introduction to Garden History'

October 31st 2021

The course is being run by the Gardens Trust in association with the Garden Museum.

It offers students with little or no previous knowledge a chronological panorama of the development of garden history from medieval and Tudor gardens through to the twentieth century, and will end with the twenty-first century, 'tomorrow’s history in the making'.
The sixteen lectures will run over four Sundays and be delivered by well-known and distinguished speakers in their fields.
Picnic-style lunch is available to pre-order.
