During the summer when we were allowed out again after lockdown, I visited this indoor garden which is local to me. It was a stop on an organised Heritage walk to see some of the hidden places in Milton Keynes. I’m not naming it yet as I’m interested too see who recognises this botanical gem.

Art in Nature
Artists have always been inspired by nature, the patters of flowers and plants and the colours of four seasons. Nature remains the primary referent and is more important than ever: our local landscape and the green English countryside have given many of us so much comfort and joy during this difficult year. This exhibition brings together a group of artists and makers who share the love of nature.
