London Allotments: A City Harvest exhibition at the Garden Museum

Back from holiday to the next excitment - the forthcoming exhibition of Edwina Sassoon's allotment photographs at the Garden Museum. After working together on the Three-Year Allotment Notebook it's fun to move on to another related project. Looks like it'll be a stunner with Edwina's knack for catching in her pictures the incredible enterprise, imagination and artistry of allotmenteers.

This exhibition will run alongside the Garden Museum's about-to-open show: Going Dutch: how the Dutch Wave hit Britain's gardens.

Two exhibitions, the Museum cafe and shop. Looks like a visual feast and the Christmas shopping sorted.
