HPS Monmouthshire Group talk

Wednesday 18th October, via Zoom at 7.30pm: 'Paradise Lost and Restored', a talk by Tim Walker, the former Director of Oxford Botanic garden. 

Tim’s talk covers the progressive development of the Oxford Botanic Garden over the last 400 years. The history of English garden design can be told in different ways, but rarely can it be told “through the lens” of one garden. The Oxford Botanic Garden was founded at the beginning of the 17th century and its design still bears the hallmarks of 17th century design. Tim looks at how the art of gardening has changed, or perhaps has not, in four centuries in Oxfordshire and how the Oxford Botanic Garden now reflects garden design at the beginning of the 21st century. The title of the talk refers to the fact that one of the motivations for garden design remains the desire to create paradise on Earth. Non-members  welcome to this event .
