Barrie Juniper 'The Tradescants Orchard'

Join plant scientist and author Barrie Juniper as he reveals the mystery behind a vibrant set of watercolours of orchard fruits which was found among the manuscripts of Elias Ashmole, whose collection formed the basis of the Ashmolean Museum, and is now held in the Bodleian Library. Although traditionally associated with the John Tradescants, the renowned seventeenth century gardeners and plant hunters, very little was known about this mysterious treasure. Juniper set out to discover the unique story behind the manuscript - who painted it and why.
