THE many changes in garden design over the past 400 years is the theme of an illustrated talk taking place at the Devon Rural Archive.
The talk on Thursday, October 4, is to be given by garden historian and graduate of the Schumacher college, Letta Jones.
Entitled ‘Four Hundred Years of Garden History’, Letta’s lecture will explore how the 18th century garden landscape evolved from its more formal 17th century predecessor and how the more eclectic garden styles of the 19th and 20th century emerged.
Born in South Devon, Letta Jones is a freelance lecturer in Horticulture, Garden History and the History and Identification of Herbs.
A trained Landscape Horticulturist, she has a Master’s Degree in the History of Medicine and has lectured at Birkbeck College, University of London for 15 years.
The talk will take place at 7pm in the lecture room at the Devon Rural Archive, Shilstone, near Modbury.
Tickets are priced at £5 each and booking is advisable.
