The history of the English garden reveals more than expected about the past and its people. This series explores the theme of gardens as places of work, rest, and leisure.

In this talk Historic Royal Palaces' Curator Susanne Groom enchants us with a description of royal gardens and how they were used for rest.

This talk was recorded live at Hampton Court Palace in 2015.
