Overview
What you will study
In the New Perspectives on Botanical Gardens course offered by University of Oxford , new scholarship will be presented to illuminate the involvement of designers, plant hunters, gardeners, scientists, artists, governments and local communities – and to tell the forgotten stories of those who suffered as plants became commodities in global trade.
The weekend will include tours of the Oxford Botanic Garden (the oldest such garden in the country).
