A new garden history course at Burgh House, Hampstead.
About this Event

A six week in-person course at Burgh House

We begin with the arrival of Salomon de Caus in England in the early 1600’s. A brilliant French Huguenot mathematician and engineer. He brought with him first-hand knowledge of Italian Renaissance gardens and his own specialisation, hydraulic engineering. He was tutor to the heir to the throne, Henry, Prince of Wales and was one of the team designing a garden for him at Richmond Palace. De Caus appears soon after in accounts for Queen Anne of Denmark. We begin in her lost gardens with grottoes, automata, giants and miniature mountains.
