The Arts Society Lecture: Ancient Roots
Chipping Sodbury Town Hall
Ancient Roots: Classical Stories Growing in Your Garden, by
Gillian Hovell
Dig deep into our gardens and their plants to discover fantastical tales of myth and legend that add life and colour to your garden plants. Discover bizarre but sometimes true ancient beliefs and see the seeds of our garden design. We travel back, over 2,000 years and more, to Babylon, Ancient Greece and Rome to find the blossoming of our gardens today. Perfect as a celebration of Spring.
Gillian studied Latin and ancient history before moving on to archaeology. She has broadcast on the BBC and has many publications to her name. Read more on her website http://www.muddyarchaeologist.co.uk.
