I can provide a display or give a talk with high quality photographs using a digital projector. For most topics I can set up a small display for the audience to look at before or after the presentation. All talks can be tailored to your requirements. |

My more popular talks: Gardens in the Age of Chivalry - An introduction to medieval gardens of the courteous knights and their ladies, the garden features, uses, symbolism and some of the plants. Knots and Bowers - The Tudor garden and its plants. What are the differences between Medieval and Tudor gardens? How did the knot gardens originate? Where were the new plants originate from? In a Monastery Garden – How the monks rediscovered the Roman gardening traditions and developed their own uses and symbolism. Includes some of the plants and their uses. Shakespeare’s Flowers – Shakespeare refers to many plants in his plays, far too many to cover in one talk, but we will discover many poetic floral delights - and dangers. Many a Sundry Flower - A fascinating look at the edible, medicinal, cosmetic and possibly fatal uses of plants during the Roman, Medieval, Tudor and Stuart periods. Death in the Garden – Tread warily in your garden. All is not as innocent as it seems. Tales of the sinister plants that may be in your garden. Everything from murder and magic to folklore. The Glory of the Garden – Victorian and Edwardian gardens and gardening methods, with a little help from Kipling. Glasshouses, exotics (the plants, not the ladies) and why everything was not always quite so green in ‘the good old days’...
