Join us for a special evening bringing together two leading voices in the world of gardens.
Acclaimed photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo and celebrated garden designer and writer Tania Compton will explore the rose in image-making and landscape design, in famous gardens throughout the world.
After 3000 years of cultivation the rose continues to seduce, and through conversation and exquisite images from Ngoc’s new book, they will explore and celebrate the place the rose has claimed not only in the garden, but also in history, culture and art. Ngoc and Tania will also reflect on the creative process and the power of photography to shape how we experience gardens.
Tickets will include an early preview of our British Flowers Week installation at 6.30pm.
