Episode 174: Garden Museum, history of green art and design
In this episode
We revisit the Garden Museum in London. This time, we concentrate on the artistic side of gardening. Ivonne looks at paintings and shares some knowledge of the history of garden design.
However, we start with a nice to know fact about a gardener from the past. We end this coverage with a surprise.
The museum’s home is the church of John Tradescant (1580-1638) who is considered to have been the first great gardener in British history.
