Description
Lecture by Anna Parkinson, writer, broadcaster and healer. A GHS London Winter Event.
John Parkinson was not only a close friend of John Tradescant but a leading figure in the 17th Century English gardening renaissance and a dedicated scientist who became Britain’s first Royal Herbalist. Despite his influence, his story has been obscured by that of other contemporaries, and this is the first time the facts about his life have been uncovered.
