Date -
Time All day
Venue Beeston Library

Inspire are delighted to be hosting a taster of the Unearthed Exhibition exploring the transformative power of gardening and opening at the British Library’s St Pancras site in May 2025.

Gardening is so much more than the nation’s favourite pastime. Tracing personal stories alongside global histories, Unearthed celebrates gardening as a force for creativity, resilience and connection. From the people who have fought for the right and space to garden to the stories of the plants we use for food and medicine, discover how gardening has shaped our lives, our communities, and our planet.
