Tim Richardson, Cambridge College Gardens
For all who have wandered through a Cambridge College garden, a delight rarely possible over the past 18 months, Tim Richardson’s eponymous book will strike a resonance with its appreciation of the history, horticulture and atmosphere that these hallowed gardens provide. In this talk, Tim will bring his research and elegant prose to life to elaborate on the most exquisite gardens in and around the colleges, illustrated with the stunning photography of Clive Boursnell. The gardens are as rich and varied as the colleges themselves, often set within stunning architecture, and include formal quads, naturalistic planting, walled gardens, rooftop oases, productive plots and watermeadows as well as the private spaces enjoyed by senior college members and fellows.
