The Future of Gardening

Description

What does the future of gardening look like in an era of climate crisis, urban inequality, and shifting notions of land and community?  

Inspired by Unearthed: The Power of Gardening, a landmark British Library exhibition and the accompanying Gardens of the Future book, this dynamic panel brings together growers, writers, artists and activists to explore gardening as a tool for resistance, healing and transformation.  

From diasporic garden traditions to rewilding movements and community allotments, the conversation will explore how gardens challenge inequality, spark joy and cultivate new ways of living. Rooted in both history and lived experience, this is a celebration of gardening as radical, restorative practice.
