About

Photo: Mary in the Paradise Garden with Saints, c1410-20, Master of the Upper Rhine: Every plant is symbolic as is the enclosure

Special online lecture by renowned UK Garden Historian, Caroline Holmes. 

A medieval tapestry of plants, people and poetry, medieval illuminated manuscripts and illustrations give us delightful insights into what a medieval garden was and the small palette of plants they grew.

Identifying the plants and their symbolism in the Unicorn tapestries provides a wonderful narrative. We explore the garden’s use and evolution in the period 410–1485: from monastic enclosure to royal hunting park and the desire for an earthly paradise both as a Christian and romantic metaphor. Simple, monastic, self-sufficient, medicinal and sacristan plots grew into elaborate settings for ecclesiastical palace and abbey gardens not forgetting the heavily defended castles with their survival crops, and manors with walled gardens relishing the wafting scents from plantings below status rooms.

The medieval garden inspired Arts and Crafts re-creations as well as the herb and scented gardens we enjoy today.
