William Morris and His Gardens

William Morris’s designs are woven into our national consciousness.

Step into the gardens that fed his imagination with cultural botanist Gavin Francis Stoneystreet.

An intuitive artist, early environmental thinker and dreamer with a wild sensitivity, Morris rooted his creative life in the natural world.

Exploring Red House, Kelmscott Manor, Kelmscott House and the remarkable factory garden at Merton Abbey, Gavin reveals the central role these places played in Morris's life, his patterns and his work.

From cottage gardens to a green sanctuary in the heart of industrial London, discover how each garden influenced Morris's vision of a life lived in harmony with nature and gain a deeper understanding of his life’s work.
