‘Why Women Grow’

Is your flat full of houseplants? Did you start growing vegetables in lockdown and now have a lifetime’s supply of Lamb’s Lettuce? You’re not the only one. Writer and editor Alice Vincent set out to discover why women grow plants and vegetables and in 2022 she compiled her stories into a book. This exhibition brings the tales to life with original recordings of interviews from guests like Margaret Howell, Sarah Raven, Rukmini Iyer and Poppy Okotcha and accompanying photography by Siobhan Watts.
