23 September: "The Gardens of Eowyn" or Botany and J.R.R. Tolkien

Laurelin and Telperion illuminated Valinor, of that Light over time smaller and smaller splinters remain. What is the importance of Gardens and Gardeners in preserving those slivers of Light?



Thanks to Tolkien's enchantment in this double date, we will discover that yes, as Aragorn said, the green earth is a grand stuff of legends even when trodden in sunlight. We will walk the paths of Carsiana and find ourselves in the Gardens of Eowyn, living simultaneously in reality and enchantment, in rationality and sentiment, in art and science.
