## Resource

Ivonne was in Morpeth, Northumberland, in April 2025. That visit has inspired her to make 2 episodes about William Turner and the garden which bears his name. The natural historian and physician (c.1508-1568) revolutionized botany. In this episode, we take a look in the knot garden and we walk alongside the long border. We also dive into some history. Which world did Turner inherit when it comes to plant knowledge, medicinal plants and knowledge of the body? And why was his work so important for society? Ivonne also explains the past of that strange hill behind the garden. In the previous episode, 207, we explore the physic garden. Tip: visit Discutafel.nl for the shownote and green blogs!
