Kate Harwood ZOOM talk - The Regency Garden
Kate is the conservation co- ordinator of the Hertfordshire Garden Trust. She has kindly agreed to talk to us about 'The Regency Garden'.
The Regency is one of those elastic periods of history roughly coinciding with the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries and with the rise of Romantic Sensibility, the Picturesque and the Awful and the Sublime. Gardens made a reappearance under the drawing room windows after being banished by Capability Brown, and the cottage orne, and in its many forms, became ubiquitous. Planting styles also changed the way gardens were used, this is documented in diaries and novels of the period.
Kate Harwood has taught garden history for many years at Birkbeck College and elsewhere and is now Conservation and Planning Officer for Hertfordshire Gardens Trust as well as giving talks and courses, writing and researching historic parks and gardens.
