Unearthed: The Power of Gardening

Inspired by the British Library's Unearthed: The Power of Gardening exhibition, libraries across the UK continue hosting a free panel display to explore the transformative power of gardening.

Tracing personal stories alongside global histories, this exhibition celebrates gardening as a force for creativity, resilience and connection. From the people who have fought for the right and space to garden to the stories of the plants we use for food and medicine. Discover how gardening has shaped our lives, our communities, and our planet.

Unearthed is taking place in Living Knowledge Network partner libraries across the UK until May 2027.
