Look out for Unearthed: The Power of Gardening, a free exhibition at March Library during the month of June.

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 stories of the plants we use for food and medicine, discover how gardening has shaped our lives, our communities, and our planet.

Unearthed is the latest display from the British Library's Living Knowledge Network. It will be touring our larger libraries in Cambridgeshire. It is inspired by a major exhibition at the British Library in St Pancras this summer https://events.bl.uk/exh.../unearthed-the-power-of-gardening
