Garden history with music

Garden design history and music videos 

Gardenvisit.com has published a set of videos on garden history, starting with the British Isles. The links below go to pages for each of ten periods. We have started with one image-rich video on each page. When complete, there will be a pair of videos for each period. They will be:

- A 'sound and image' video, using music to express the mood of the period and photographs, with some plans and some paintings, to show the characteristics of designed gardens and landscapes in the period. These 10 videos have been published.

- A 'word and image' video in lecture format (based on the text in Tom Turner's book on British gardens: history, philosophy and design) to explain how and why gardens were designed in the styles characteristic of the period. These 10 videos are a work in progress (aka 'vapourware')
