Celebrating the horticultural and the cultivated landscape behind and beyond the garden wall.

About

Gardening is seen as a national pastime in England. Nowhere are these expressions of cultivated creativity more evident than in the verdant gardens and park of Houghton Hall, which during 2022 is marking its 300th year.

Avant Gardeners celebrates the cultivated and the designed landscape behind and beyond the garden wall. While Contemporary and Country's pop-up exhibition cannot reflect the full diversity of East Anglia’s horticultural heritage, the art and objects encompassed by it will show how artists and makers take their ideas from the seasonal cycle, plant life, harnessing natural processes that encourage decomposition or conservation and exploring how nature can be ‘improved upon’.
