First exhibition to examine the common thread weaving through all of Cecil Beaton’s work: gardens and flowers. Photographs, paintings, drawings, costume and set design will explore the role flowers played in developing his creative practice: from the lavish floral installations for his infamous parties, to painted and fresh flowers for fashion photography and royal portraits, to floral costumes in films such as My Fair Lady. Curated by Garden Museum Curator Emma House and designed by artist and designer Luke Edward Hall.
An exhibition taking place at the North London based, Omved Gardens by the artist, Vivienne Schadinsky exploring the journey of beans from seed to harvest and their potential for human and planetary health.
Free to attend exhibition. In The Lost Trees, Nancy Cadogan explores the emotional and environmental significance of trees through the human stories and connections tied to these lost giants. Her paintings serve as memorials and tributes to the trees, whether from private gardens, parks, or hedgerows—each felled for different reasons. These works are uplifting testaments to the enduring legacy of trees and the vital role they play in our lives, and what they do for us.
This summer, Nicola Talbot, custodian of Falconhurst in Kent, will be hosting the exhibition: STONE. Inspired by on form, the UK’s most respected garden sculpture exhibition at Asthall Manor in the Cotswolds, the gardens of Falconhurst house will host a curated collection of sculpture by some of the most renowned British sculptors.
Acclaimed as the 20th century’s greatest botanical painter, Rory McEwen’s upbringing in the verdant Scottish borders greatly influenced his creative sensibilities. While he is best known for his exquisite botanical watercolours, he was also a skilled musician and pivotal figure in the 1960s folk music revival movement.
