I am thrilled to be speaking at Tudorcon again this year! The event will take place September 8-10, 2023 in Lancaster County, PA with a fantastic lineup of speakers, including the fabulous Tracy Borman live from England.

This time I’ll be walking you through the wonderful world of Tudor gardens and introducing you to those who designed, cared for, and introduced new plants to them. We’ll talk about their roots in the monastic healing gardens of the Middle Ages and their drastic expansion during the Renaissance, when they became the hobby and obsession of the middle classes as well as of the ultra-rich. We’ll see how European exploration introduced many exotic new plants to England, widening the garden’s scope and fueling a passion among scholars and nobles for collecting these new species and adapting them to the English climate.
