Meet Flora: Plants, Grains and Daily Life
Join Flora, Roman plant expert, to learn about the grains and plants found at Chedworth and how they were used. This event is part of the Festival of Archaeology programme.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Discover the plants that shaped everyday life in Roman Britain at Chedworth Roman Villa. Drawing on evidence from the site, Flora will explain the grain samples found here, what they were used for, and what they tell us about diet and farming. Learn about the different crops grown by the Romans, how they were processed, and their importance in cooking and daily life. Flora will also explore the wider role of plants at the villa, looking in detail at the many ways they could be used; from food and medicine to practical and everyday purposes. Visitors can take part by picking up a spotter sheet and exploring the site to identify plants and features for themselves, making connections between the landscape today and its use in the past.
