A very informative talk with a very interesting selection of slides.
John Neal gave a us a talk about the ancient gardens in the city of London. His slides of the old original maps and illustrations showed us where these gardens were located within the present day London we're familiar with, (and how different it looked at the time!) and were juxtaposed with photos of the same sites over different periods up to our own time. He was also very knowledgeable about the prominent characters of the period who owned and designed the gardens and showed us not only the types of flowers and herbs they grew, but also the particular properties they were believed to possess and what they were used for.
