To coincide with the exhibition Gardening Bohemia: Bloomsbury Women Outdoors, we visited Charleston, Sussex to meet head gardener Harry Hoblyn.
Bell shared the farmhouse, studio and garden at Charleston with her partner, fellow Bloomsbury group artist Duncan Grant, and her sister Virginia Woolf lived nearby at Monk’s House. Charleston was a gathering place for friends, a sanctuary for experimental thinking, art, gardening and writing.
