Let's delve into British gardening in former times! Ivonne visits the Garden Museum in London. The galleries here tell the story of gardens in Britain from the 1600s until today. Ivonne points out several nice to know facts.

  • What was the title of the first magazine designed specifically for the amateur gardener?
  • Which flowers did soldier George Moore collect in World War I for his fiancé, who was at home in Newcastle?
  • Who were the 'weeding women'?

Remarkably, the museum's home is the church of John Tradescant (1580-1638) who is considered to have been the first great gardener in British history.
As always, you'll find more information in the shownote.
