Description

This exhibition has now closed

This exhibition runs from Monday 17th May 2021 to Sunday 26th September 2021.


This summer the Garden Museum will be celebrating the doyenne of flowers, the 20th century's most influential floral decorator, Constance Spry. Guest curated by floral designer and writer Shane Connolly, this new exhibition will explore Spry's exceptional life, achievements and legacy, with exclusive access to her archive at the RHS Lindley Library.

Spry's popularity has seen a huge resurgence in recent years as a new generation of floral designers rediscovers her ground-breaking approach to the art of flowers: seasonal, natural, yet unconfined by tradition and rules.

For this exhibition, the Garden Museum has gained exclusive access to Spry's personal archives, which were deposited at the RHS Lindley Library after her death and have not been displayed publicly since. The exhibition will feature 100 never before seen photographs, documents and personal items from these archives, a precious record of an extraordinary life.
