Good to hear back and look forward to your input into the Garden History Group

It was entitled 'Rusticity' and was based upon the idea that English garden designers since the 1680's onwards have always looked back in a rustic / nostalgic way to what has gone before for design inspiration.
i.e The English Landscape Garden based upon ideas of ancient Greek Arcadia, the Picturesque garden having rustic huts, grottoes and hermitages, the Victorin garden harking back to a simpler time and a close contact with Nature and the Arts and Crafts garden being based on Bacon's essay of the 1660's and Medieval Gothic styling.
Lots of fun researching it at that time and I managed a 2.1 at the time.
Why not join the garden History Group I have started on the network?
Best regards
