In Bloom: How Plants Changed Our World

“Spring is in full swing and the new exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, "In Bloom: How Plants Changed our World", has been perfectly timed for the season, said Tim Adams in The Observer. It's "a celebration of the ways that plants have sprouted and unfurled in our artistic and scientific imaginations". With a series of artworks and other items sourced largely from the collections of Oxford University – from 17th-century flower paintings to preserved plant specimens to works of contemporary art – it also provides a potted history of this country's horticulture.”
