The histories of plants and gardens are deeply entangled with the histories of empires. This two-day international conference investigates the impacts of these global connections on gardens around the world. It investigates the influence of global networks of science, commerce and horticulture on the plants, designs and practices found in the gardens of European and non-European empires, at home and abroad.
Speakers cover the impact and influence of empires in gardens all over the world including East Asia, India, North America, South America, Australia, the Caribbean and Europe, sharing the stories of the plants, people and powers that shaped the gardens of empires.
