Professor Sir Roderick Floud, Provost of Gresham College, lifts the veils on the great gardens of Britain. Each garden involved sums of money, labour and logistics that defy belief, making the head gardener a very important person indeed. This short extract is taken from the lecture 'Making and Running Great Gardens 1700 - 1900' which can be enjoyed in full at the following link: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/making-and-running-great-gardens-1700-1900 Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 1,500 lectures free to access or download from the website.
