Welcome to Our Garden

Welcome to our Garden, a co-produced mixed media exhibition sharing memories made in Jarrow Halls Herb Garden over the years.  
The garden which is loved by many was designed in 1978 by Professor Rosemary Cramp (Durham University) and Richard Kilburn and is now cared for by a team of dedicated and volunteers. 
But what inspired the garden? The first part draws on the structure of a typical medieval physic garden and is based on the Plan of Saint Gall – a famous medieval architectural drawing of a monastic compound dating from the early 9th century.
