From Garden City to Green City - This exhibition explores historic and futuristic visions of growing in the city. Showcasing a selection of the many ideas, projects and designs from the last 150 years, the exhibition will begin with Victorians who longed to introduce more green into congested city living, through the meadows that sprung up in bomb sites, to the latest international concepts that suggest how urban spaces and lifestyles could be transformed.
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.
