About this event
We love plants in our homes. But why? Why did we start bringing plants indoors and why did the giant, leafy aspidistra become so loved by the Victorians and Gracie Fields? Could looking after your own plant make you smile more?
Explore the history of houseplants and why caring for them could improve your mental health at our exhibition and houseplant extravaganza, The Biggest Aspidistra in the World!
Enter our ‘I love my houseplant because…’ competition to win £150 worth of plants, ask our panel of plant experts why you’ve got droopy leaves, walk through the life of a houseplant at a talk by indoor plant specialist Mary Jago, have your Victorian family photograph taken alongside our prize aspidistra or take part in the Aspidistra Sassy-Selfie trail. There’s a lot of horticultural happenings at Trebah this February!
