Exhibition: Where Magic Grows
Step inside our wondrous indoor garden where plants whisper, herbs heal, and folklore comes to life!
Explore herbal remedies, folk tales and the curious properties of plants in this new multisensory space that encourages children and their adults to step outside, look closer and rediscover the healing power of the outdoors.
Wander through a mossy, tactile landscape filled with oversized plants, discover hidden networks beneath the soil and curl up in cosy spaces. Through touch, scent and playful discovery, you can relax, listen and learn about the magic of nature all around us.
Our latest hands-on gallery space designed for families of all ages to play and explore together, Where Magic Grows is co-produced with five young curators and created by artist Helen Brook in partnership with the RHS – the UK’s gardening charity, helping people and plants to grow.
