Things we love…

The interwar period in Britain saw a flowering of artists who retreated to planting and painting in their gardens; ultimately their own private havens. A new exhibition will bring together intimate depictions of gardens, greenhouses and favoured specimens by various artists. This period also saw several artists engaging with public spaces amidst a growing interest in recreation. From fireworks and fairgrounds to picnics is on from 22 March to 25 June 2023.
