Abundant With Bloom | The Garden Worlds Of Colby Women

This event is over.
May 5, 2018 ~ Sep 8, 2018

From May 5th till September 8th, 2018.

The exhibition will discuss the Victorian garden from the point of view of its ties to the daily life of a family household. In addition to its aesthetic role as adornment to the house, the Victorian gardens was the source of a wide variety of fruit, vegetables, herbs and plants destined for use within the home; as nutrition, cut flowers and even medicinal purposes.

The floral and arboreal arrangement of the garden evolved over time as tastes changed. By the end of the 19th century, the dominant trend was toward less formal, more natural, Gardens, and the use of native plants. The garden was designed as a place where members of the family could spend their leisure time, as part of the domestic landscape and an extension of the rooms of the house.
