Bodiam Castle

Bodiam Castle in Spring.Bodiam, United Kingdom For the last four years groups of pupils from Claremont School have been working on garden projects with Bodiam Castle. What started as a fairly modest idea of creating a herb bed in the grounds has now become an ambitious plan to establish all 101 plants that are mentioned in one of the oldest English gardening manuscripts, The Feate of Gardening, written in about 1390, the same time that Bodiam Castle was built.In 2012 we created a herb garden containing plants for cooking, for the household, for strewing and freshening, for medicine and healing, and for well-being. This was followed in 2013 with a bed of plants used for dyeing, and in 2014 with a bed of ornamental plants for scent and savour.During research for possible plants to include we came across many references to ‘The Feate of Gardening’.DJI Inspire 1 in 4K.
