2019 318-365 Herbs for Strewing
A trip to Hever Castle. The Tudor Garden wasn't looking at its best, but came up with a Treasure Hunt topic, so I was happy.
Herbs for strewing were fragrant plants used in medieval times that were strewn on the floor to add a welcome scent to the room in a bid to mask bodily and other odours.
A very interesting place to visit, there is currently a display of costumes and photographs from various films shot there, including Anne of the Thousand Days, when Elizabeth Taylor was on set to ensure her husband's roving eye didn't settle on Genevieve Bujold.
