## Resource

Ivonne was in Morpeth, Northumbria, in April 2025. That visit has inspired her to make 2 episodes about William Turner and his garden.We're not talking about the famous 18th century painter here, but about the natural historian and physician William Turner (c.1508-1568) who revolutionized botany. Amongst a range of other things, William Turner wrote about plants. A garden in Morpeth bears his name, and Ivonne takes you there.The garden consists of several parts. In episode 208, we take a look in the knot garden and we walk alongside the long border. In this episode, we explore the physic garden. And what was Turner's main contribution to plant knowledge?
