Writing about her sister’s new house Charleston, Virginia Woolf described the ‘charming garden, with a pond and fruit trees and vegetables, all now rather run wild’. As well as redecorating the house in their unique style, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant transformed the garden into an inspiring backdrop for their artistic lives. A riot of colour, the garden as much as the house provided a setting for the Bloomsbury group’s creative and literary activities.
As part of our celebrations for the forthcoming Chelsea Flower Show this book will be launched at Potterton Books on Thursday 20th May between 6-8pm. Besides treating yourself to a signed copy you’ll also be able to purchase Snell’s the original photographs. As a special treat Bellocq, the tea atelier on the Kings Rd, have made an exclusive Bloomsbury inspired tea to be served during the evening. Sounds delicious!
Look forward to seeing you there!
