The Lost Gardens of Bath
26 April @ 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Explore the lost gardens of the Georgian city of Bath, examining both the archaeological and archival evidence that has been left behind. Bath’s gardens disappeared beneath the spread of later 18th century development, but where were they and what did they look like? Were they used as pleasure gardens, as kitchen gardens, or a mix of both? Who were the gardeners who designed and maintained them and who supplied the plants? From an elaborate terraced riverside garden to the narrow plots behind the City’s terraces and squares, the talk will reveal these lost urban gems.
