- Garden Open Today: 300 Years of Garden Visiting - A special exhibition in the new gallery at The Garden Museum, London, will tell the story of our love affair with other peoples’ gardens. From a travelling artist’s sketch of Henry VIII’s palace at Richmond – the earliest drawing of an English garden in existence – to Vita Sackville-West’s private photographic albums of Sissinghurst, “GARDEN OPEN TODAY! 300 Years of Garden Visiting” will explore the centuries-old British tradition of opening gardens to the public. The exhibition will celebrate the influence of garden visiting on style and fashion and, above all, celebrate the pleasure, curiosity and inspiration that lead us to a stranger’s lawn. From 24 April.
About the Museum of Garden History:
The Garden Museum exists to explore and celebrate the social, artistic and cultural significance of gardens and gardening. It was founded in 1977, as the world’s first museum dedicated to the history gardens and gardening. In creating the Museum, the founders also succeeded in saving the historic church of St. Mary-at-Lambeth from demolition.
The inspiration to found the Garden Museum came from the discovery of the neglected and forgotten tomb of 17th century plant hunters, the John Tradescants, father and son. As the Museum looks to the future it aims to become a first class national resource, providing information about plant and garden history to anyone who wishes to visit the building or browse this web site.
