Bacon 400 Celebrations

2026 marks the 400th anniversary of the death of Sir Francis Bacon, one of history’s greatest philosophers, scientists, and statesmen. This event is running as part of the Bacon 400 Celebrations and in association with Hertfordshire Gardens Trust.

Join us for an unmissable evening with Paula Henderson, architectural and garden historian and award-winning author, as she celebrates Sir Francis Bacon’s passion for and expertise on plants in her talk: “Sir Francis Bacon’s ‘greater perfection’ and his passion for plants”.  Paula lectures widely in Britain and in the United States.

This is an evening which will appeal to gardeners, garden designers, history lovers and anyone with a passion for plants and gardens in the wonderful modern setting of the Plant Library.
