Gardening Bohemia: Bloomsbury Women Outdoors

In summer 2024 the Garden Museum presented the first exhibition to explore the gardens of the Bloomsbury group.

Gardening Bohemia: Bloomsbury Women Outdoors centred on four extraordinary women and the green spaces they surrounded themselves with: writer Virginia Woolf and her garden at Monk’s House; her sister artist Vanessa Bell, whose garden and studio was at nearby Charleston; arts patron and photographer Lady Ottoline Morrell, who presided over Garsington Manor; and garden designer and writer Vita Sackville-West and the gardens at Sissinghurst Castle.
