Members of the National Trust are invited to a special private viewing of the Garden Museum’s new exhibition Gardening Bohemia: Bloomsbury Women Outdoors.
Opening this May, the exhibition will celebrate four extraordinary women and the green spaces they surrounded themselves with, including two much loved National Trust properties: Virginia Woolf’s Monk’s House; Vanessa Bell’s Charleston; Lady Ottoline Morrell’s Garsington Manor; and Vita Sackville-West’s Sissinghurst Castle. As a thank you to The National Trust for its support, members are invited to enjoy this beautiful exhibition after hours, including an introduction from a curator and a complimentary drink.
For each of the women explored in this exhibition, their gardens became places of sanctuary and experiment through times of personal and national crises, where ideas about creativity and domesticity, nature, sexuality and relationships could be uprooted and redefined. Photographs, paintings, textiles, garden tools, manuscripts, and correspondence – many of which have never been on public view – will tell the interweaving stories of these women, their creative lives, their friends and their gardens.
During and after the event our award-winning Garden Cafe restaurant will be open for supper. Booking is essential.
National Trust members are entitled to two complimentary tickets each for this event. If your guest is not a National Trust member please leave the membership number field blank.
We do not issue physical tickets, your name will be added to the event list upon completing your booking.
