Behind the Blooms: The Making of Raby’s Garden Exhibit - Raby Castle

About

Discover the story behind Raby’s garden exhibit, from curating history to conservation in action.

Join a member of our Curatorial team for a spotlight talk on how our new garden exhibit was created, from deciding a title, to rummaging through garden workshops for historic material.

Explore the green fingered stories that made the cut, the collections and archives chosen to best represent the vast history of Raby’s gardens, and the work that goes on behind the scenes to develop an exhibit which tells the story of a constantly growing and changing  space.

You will also have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of our Conservation and Collections Care Officer performing some conservation in action on of the historic furniture used in the exhibit.
