Join our team of Librarians to get up-close and personal with a curated selection of treasures from the Central Library collections, focusing on our gardening and botanical collections from the 17th to the 20th-centuries. 

There’ll be the chance to handle rare books from our archive, as well as the opportunity to chat with staff about the current exhibition – Unearthed: The Power of Gardening. 

This event is part of Unearthed: The Power of Gardening exhibition, in partnership with the British Library and the Living Knowledge Network.
