Everything’s Gone Green: Photography and the Garden

Created to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Royal Horticultural Society, this exhibition explored the artistic, cultural and social significance of the domestic and public garden.

The garden—as man-made Eden or simply a plot of contained nature—is a complex and loaded environment. A place of toil, leisure and domesticity, the garden apparently allows free range of the imagination. However, geography, class, fashion and time determine its appearance and use. 

Everything’s Gone Green looked at some of the myriad and intriguing ways that gardens, and the ways in which they are used, are shaped.
