All the woes of the world begin in a garden which is perhaps why poets are so attracted to the dangers and delights of Nature. From Eden onwards, the garden has featured in poetry as Milton, Shakespeare, Marvell, Clare, Tennyson and poets from every era, including our own, demonstrate. We will look at a wide selection of poetry in which the garden is more than greenery: it is central to understanding love, death, danger, delight, beauty, ourselves… and our place in the universe.
