About
Visitors are invited to rethink their ideas about what gardens are, who they are for, and the role they can play in shaping our identities and experiences. Featuring a range of objects from ceramics and clothes to watercolours and welly boots – Nature’s Art showcases the dynamic history of gardens in the region.
Familiar names feature, from the designer William Morris, alongside lesser-known Leicester-based artists such as the watercolourist Isabella Charters.
This summer exhibition reveals how gardens throughout time have functioned as sources of pleasure, inspiration, and healing.
