Renowned horticulturalist and garden historian Judyth McLeod’s book, In a unicorn’s garden, recreates the mystery and magic of medieval gardens. Garden design based on themes of significance in the medieval world will be discussed by this brilliant speaker, along with the history, society, culture, religion and mythology relating to each theme. Learn about a medieval cook’s garden, a garden of eternal life and a paradise garden, in this illustrated talk, repeated by popular demand.
Medieval manuscripts from the Library’s Rare Books collection will be on display.
