After seeing last night’s preview of the Hampton Court Flower Show, I went online to try and find photos of Anne Boleyn’s Witch Garden and I found some on the Royal Horticultural Society website. Obviously I don’t want to breach copyright and reproduce them here but you can see them for yourselves at:

There is also an article about the plants and flowers used, as well as the scaffold and essential witchcraft items – hmmm!
If you’re interested in seeing all of the Six Wives’ gardens, there is a video and photo gallery at:

Whatever our views on whether these gardens are relevant or appropriate to the six women, you have to admit that they are beautiful.
