The Mediaeval Garden - Nature Feared
In the Middle Ages, gardens were seen as a refuge from the terrors of nature, since the irregular earth was thought to bear the marks of Satan and the Fall of Man. Walled enclosures surrounded a haven of tranquillity filled with flowing water, medicinal herbs, delicious fruits and fragrant flowers - a Garden of Eden keeping the Devil's wilderness at bay.

Co-Hort creates gardens which provide a sanctuary from the pressures of the modern world.
