Catherine Horwood on Retro Houseplants and What We Can Learn From Them
Are you obsessed with houseplants? You’re not the first. For the Victorians, it was the aspidistra in the front parlour, the Edwardians loved a palm, and for today’s millennials, no home is complete without the ubiquitous fiddle-leaf fig.
Hear Catherine Horwood, author of Potted History – How Houseplants Took Over Our Homes, talk at the Garden Museum about the fascinating history of our obsession with indoor jungles. She’ll show how potted plants are as much subject to fashion as any piece of furniture in the home and tell us what will be the next ‘must have’ for Gen Z from the indoor gardening world.
