Unearthed: The Power of Gardening Exhibition

Leeds Libraries

From windowsills to allotments, Unearthed: The Power of Gardening explores how the act of gardening can heal and sustain people in a multitude of ways. It reveals how gardening can bring people together, empower communities and shape our relationship with the natural world. It also considers gardening as a form of activism, as a means of challenging land ownership and highlighting social disparities, as well as providing a global story about the movement of plants.

In addition, inspired by this exhibition at Leeds Central Library and in collaboration with Leeds Libraries, Buffalo Sound Design will present a growing ‘garden of voices’ in Room 700, called 'The Speaking Garden'.

Unearthed: The Power of Gardening is open during usual library opening hours.
