The History of Women in the Garden
Records of early women in the garden are few and far between, but there is written and pictoral evidence that women were working in the gardens of Hampton Court in the court of Henry VIII. To discuss the history of women gardeners Sheila is joined by Anne Beswick, a designer and lecturer at Wilmslow Guild Macclesfield College and for the National Trust; Dr. Catherine Horwood, author of Gardening Women; and Tanis Roberts, Head Gardener for the National Trust at Tintinhull, Somerset. She has been working on an exhibition on women gardeners and her garden is one of the National Trust's 'female' gardens having been created by Phyllis Reiss and continued by Penelope Hobhouse.
