Discover the hidden stories behind the Walled Victorian Garden...
1.30 - 2.30pm
From productive kitchen garden to thriving market garden, the story of the Victorian Walled Garden is one of change, cultivation, and our evolving relationship with nature.
Join Sue Harris, Head Gardener, as she uncovers the history of this special space, the plants that grew here, and what the garden tells us about Victorian life and values.
This June, the Powell-Cotton Museum is inviting the community to become part of their Centenary story.
Over the coming month, the curators and experts will uncover fascinating stories from the Museum's extensive material culture, Natural History and archive collections, alongside lesser-known stories from life at Quex House and Gardens.
Through a special series of talks, you can hear directly from the people who care for these collections, and discover the unexpected stories hidden within everyday objects, archives, gardens and more.
All talks are included with standard admission. No booking required, simply drop in at the scheduled times.
An Arts Council England grant has enabled the series of talks, community outreach, and a series of hands-on creative workshops throughout the summer.
From Adinkra Printing to Poetry Writing, these sessions offer the chance to respond creatively to discoveries made within the Museum's collections.
The work will then form part of a special community exhibition opening in October.
Full details and dates to be announced soon.
