“In the Garden with William Morris: Flora as art”

a Lecture by Fiona Rose

on

Wednesday, 29th March 2023 at 7.30pm

 

 

More famous for his work inside the home, William Morris (1834-1896) made a significant impact on the evolution of the English garden. He considered the garden inseparable from the house, rejecting Victorian formality and instead drawing inspiration from medieval gardens. This lecture examines his gardening principles drawing from Morris’s lectures, letters, poetry, and prose. It also explores his own gardens that served as an inspiration behind his flower-based designs: Red House, Kelmscott Manor, Kelmscott House and the garden at his factory Merton Abbey Works.

Fiona Rose is the owner of Arts & Crafts Living, selling home interiors in the style of the Arts and Crafts era. Fiona is a member of ACMS and last lectured to the Society in 2017 on the life of Warington Taylor, manager of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co.  She has lectured at The University of Cambridge, for the National Trust, specialist Arts and Crafts associations and for national and local charity groups.
