BOOK LAUNCH
This lecture describes three ways in which technology developed for gardens changed the shape of England and its built environment. Gardening innovations in water engineering (17th and 18th century artificial lakes), central heating for greenhouses, and glass in construction went on to have a significant impact on our lives and environment.
Roderick Floud's An Economic History of the English Garden will be launched at this event.
