Ten award-winning designers bring their unique vision to a series of garden types, both public and private, to inspire, motivate and provoke. Given a brief that extends to a maximum of 50 years into the future, their original designs mitigate the effects of a changing climate, encourage biodiversity, address issues of legacy and access to land and changing societal needs and individual wellbeing. They provide hope in a time of uncertainty and emphasise the power of gardening to nurture nature and adapt to change. Interspersed between these original designs are features linking the garden types to themes and items in the British Library exhibition, Unearthed: The Power of Gardening, which draws on the Library's rich botanical and horticultural collections.
