ANCIENT ROOTS: CLASSICAL STORIES GROWING IN YOUR GARDEN

About
Celebrate our gardens as we dig deep into Ancient Greece and Rome. Stories of gods, goddesses, demi-gods and mortals still fill our garden borders and orchards with vibrant and dramatic life. Even kitchen gardens and our garden aesthetics contain epic seeds propagated by Ancient Rome. We travel back 2,000 years to find the seeds of fabulous stories of our gardens today.After graduating in Latin and Ancient History from Exeter University, Gillian Hovell worked in BBC Television and went on to become an award-winning freelance writer, author, international public speaker & broadcaster, specialising in archaeology, prehistory and in the Greek and Roman eras.
She is a lecturer at York University and has spoken at the British Museum and frequently on British TV & Radio. Having led and supported community archaeology projects in a hands-on way, Gillian now actively digs at major sites in the UK and Europe (including Orkney’s prehistoric Ness of Brodgar to Roman Pompeii and Vindolanda).
