This is a recording of a live zoom talk from 8 June 2021.

Join Curator Helen Elletson to explore some of the fascinating objects in The William Morris Society’s collection.

In celebration of the London Open Gardens event, this month’s talk will highlight the varied and beautiful gardens of William Morris’s homes. Beginning with descriptions of Morris’s childhood gardens, we’ll look at the inspiration behind the planting schemes at Red House and discover how Morris’s particular approach to design was reflected in different ways at Kelmscott Manor and Kelmscott House.

Please join us as we look at the beauty of Morris’s gardens through photographs, contemporary descriptions and Morris’s own words, alongside key objects from the Society’s collection that reflect Morris’s innovative views.
