Tudor Gardens Thornbury Castle
I watched a fabulous episode of Lost Gardens today. For those of you that don’t know the show here is ABC TV’s blurb:
Step back in time to discover eight forgotten and overgrown gardens, recreating them to resemble what they would’ve been in their heyday.
Renowned British garden presenter Monty Don leads a horticultural and design team to ressurect eight very different British gardens, spanning 500 years.
They include a 19th century Warwick grocer’s detached pleasure garden, a Tudor country pleasance and a piece of Edwardian Japanese pastiche.
In episode two, the team unearth the moated Tudor garden at Shelley Hall, Suffolk, created in 1519 by Sir Philip Tilney. The best thing is that you can watch the entire episode online right here!
If you’re a fan of Time Team then you will enjoy this show. Apart from watching the team recreate a Tudor garden from scratch, you also get the chance to learn about the herbs and plants that were commonly used in Tudor gardens.
Enjoy!
