Gardens of the Future: Unique Visions for a Changing World
In our exhibition book, Gardens of the Future: Unique Visions for a Changing World, ten award-winning garden designers have created designs that address themes of climate change, legacy, biodiversity, access to land, and individual wellbeing. This magnificent, fully-illustrated hardback, edited by Ruth Chivers with a foreword by Olivia Laing, intersperses these original designs with related items from our botanical and horticultural collections.
