New Zealand Garden Events |
Cultivating Gardens, Dunedin
21 March - 27 June, de Beer Gallery at Special Collections, First Floor, Central Library, Otago University, Dunedin
Exhibition of practical gardening advice through the ages, showcasing books that range from those small enough to be true handbooks or manuals. Others, like the gardening dictionaries, are too massive to be taken into the garden and were undoubtedly destined for shelves in a gentleman's library. The exhibition will trace the development of practical English gardening books from the late 16th century to the Victorian era, as well as developments in 19th and 20th century New Zealand, where new manuals were written for local conditions.
Hours: Monday to Friday 8.30 to 5.00. Contact: Donald Kerr, Special Collections Librarian, Tel +64 (0)3 479-8330, Email donald.kerr@library.otago.ac.nz Website www.
