The Garden Museum’s summer exhibition will celebrate Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved classic children’s book The Secret Garden, exploring how different artists’ illustrations bring the story to life and celebrate the healing power of gardens.
Enter our magical Secret Garden in this immersive exhibition
suitable for all ages, with interactive games and trails for children to learn
about the plants, animals and stories found in The Secret Garden and to inspire
young visitors to try their hand at gardening!
The Secret Garden (first published 1911) tells the story of Mary Lennox, an unhappy 10-year-old orphan sent to live her widowed uncle at his sprawling and mysterious Yorkshire estate, Misselthwaite Manor. Here she discovers the key to a long-abandoned hidden walled garden, which she begins to tend.
As Mary cares
for the plants in the garden with the help of her sickly cousin Colin Craven,
its restorative powers help her overcome her grief. The garden also heals
Colin, who had previously been unable to walk.
The Secret Garden was first published in The American Magazine from November 1910 – August 1911. Following its success, it was published as a book in 1911.
Precious first editions of both the magazine and the book will be on
display in the exhibition, alongside contemporary interpretations by children’s
book illustrator Lauren Child and an interactive edition by Studio MinaLima,
the graphic design studio behind the graphic universe of the Harry Potter
movies.
As well as celebrating illustrations
from The Secret Garden, the exhibition will explore Frances Hodgson
Burnett’s keen interest in gardening in real life, including her gardens at
Great Maytham Hall, Kent – famous for providing the inspiration for The
Secret Garden.
The exhibition will run through the summer
holidays accompanied by a programme of art, gardening and cooking activities
suitable for children and families.

El 24 de julio de 1912, Friderike von Winternitz visitó Viena y pasó la velada en la fonda Riedhof, un local frecuentado por funcionarios, oficiales, médicos y escritores, en el que vio a Stefan Zweig. Al día siguiente, Friderike le escribió una carta anónima con la que comenzaba no sólo su relación amorosa, sino una correspondencia que se prolongó durante treinta años, hasta el suicidio del escritor en plena Segunda Guerra Mundial. Estas cartas son un extraordinario testimonio del profundo vínculo que unió al escritor y a su primera esposa durante su vida en común y tras el divorcio, y un conmovedor documento de las vidas truncadas en la Europa devastada por la barbarie nazi.
