Botanical Circles: Gardeners, Botanists and Nurserymen in Henry Compton’s London

Later Stuart London had great gardens and public open spaces, innovative market gardens and commercial nurseries. Join us for this talk by garden historian David Marsh on this horticultural hotbed.

During the talk Marsh will explore how, in a highly stratified society, an interest in gardening was almost unique in cutting across social class, establishing networks of correspondence, plant exchange, and botanical knowledge.
