Display of Cereals
|
 |
 |
| These pictures show the two
displays of cereals that have been constructed in the Garner Display
area. The display on the left is based on specimens grown in the Miller's
Garden during 2005. It describes the evolution of wheat, from the
ancient wild grasses and goat grasses, up to modern Macaroni or Durum
Wheat and Bread Wheat. |
| The display on the right contains other
cereals, some of which are grown in Britain. Barley, the central item,
is an important and common cereal. Oats, on the left, is now less
common since the demise of the farm horse. Rye, shown on the right,
is only rarely grown in Britain. |
