Following the departure of the Romans, gardening, if nothing else entered the dark ages.

As a Saxon, Norman or a Monk I will bring tools, equipment and a display of the uses of the plants to help your visitors learn:

How the Monasteries helped to keep the Roman gardening tradition alive.

Why a Saxon king visited the Rose Garden at a Nunnery.

How the Normans changed the English landscape with their gardens and parks.
