SUMMARY:God’s Acre – From Utility to Paradise
DESCRIPTION:God’s Acre – From Utility to Paradise - A talk by Lynda Pid
 geon\nToday gardens are seen as somewhere to relax and to socialise in\, a
  place to grow flowers and perhaps some vegetables. However\, in the Middl
 e Ages gardening was more closely related to agriculture. Gardens were a n
 ecessity for many\, an essential part of survival producing both food and 
 medicine. Over time\, the garden would also become a status symbol\, only 
 the rich could afford to put aside a piece of valuable land just for displ
 ay and enjoyment\, rather than pure utility.\nThis talk will look at a var
 iety of gardens and their uses from those of the monks in the early middle
  ages to the Paradise gardens of the wealthy in the later medieval period.
 \nDoors at 6pm for 6:30pm start\nRefreshments included. \nDirections\nSt 
 Nicholas Priory is on Mint Lane with walking access from Fore Street or Ba
 rtholomew Street West.\n\nThe nearest car park is Mary Arches Street\, whi
