Horticultural circles
All three women were part of a wide network of horticultural friends. The exhibition will uncover their links to, among others, William Robinson, Ellen Willmott and Vita Sackville-West.
The last room of the exhibition will recreate Muriel’s sitting room from a contemporary photograph and show how she brought her love of plants and the garden at Nymans into the interior of the house.
