Unearthed: The Power of Gardening
Gardening is so much more than the nation’s favourite pastime. Inspired by the British Library’s Unearthed: The Power of Gardening exhibition, a number of libraries will host a free panel display to explore the transformative power of gardening.
From allotments and window boxes to community gardens and public green spaces, gardening connects us to the world around us — and to each other.
Discover how gardening shapes our wellbeing, inspires creativity, and brings communities together.
