The British Library - UNEARTHED - The Power of Gardening

Discover how centuries of gardening have nurtured individuals, empowered communities and transformed our natural world in a major new exhibition at the British Library this Spring.   From beautiful botanical illustrations to the world’s oldest mechanised lawnmower, ancient herbals to guerrilla gardening zines, Unearthed reveals how gardeners have cultivated more than just plants – they've sown the seeds of change.    Dive into gardening’s role in our health and wellbeing, see how people have reimagined our homes, towns and cities to create green spaces, and uproot the tangled histories of the plants that grow in our gardens today.     Unearthed celebrates gardening as a force for creativity, resilience and community through the remarkable stories of the people and plants that shape our gardens.
