Discover over 500 years of Redbridge's gardens, parks and open spaces in this special exhibition by Redbridge Museum.

Follow a fascinating journey from medieval farmland to grand 18th century country estates to the growth of modern suburban gardens and discover an area where the city meets the country.

Explore the 'lost' grounds of Wanstead House, one of the grandest gardens in 18th century England; find out about the work of the Woodford botanist who discovered many new plants; uncover the fight to preserve the ancient Hainault Forest; and see how local people have used their gardens, parks and allotments in the last 100 years. Through a range of objects, photographs, films and documents, visitors will view Redbridge in a new light.
