Description
Gardens have always been more than beautiful spaces. They are places of power, protest, and possibility.
Unearthed: The Power of Gardening, a major exhibition at the British Library, uncovers the radical history of gardening and its profound influence on culture, identity and social change. From private sanctuaries to communal plots, it explores how gardening has served as an act of resistance, a tool for healing and a means of reimagining the future. Featuring archival materials, personal stories and global traditions, it digs deep into the transformative potential of gardens past, present and future.
This Unearthed pop-up display from the British Library’s Living Knowledge Network brings a taster of the exhibition to Bradford, and links to the Library’s The Future of Gardening panel event on 5 July.
The Living Knowledge Network is a UK-wide partnership of national and public libraries, which supports libraries to meaningfully connect with their communities by expanding access to inspiring experiences and sharing the UK’s national heritage.
