Group exhibition

Where We Grow: nature, nurture & childhood

Joy Gregory, Andy Holden, Jade de Montserrat, Mark Neville, Quentin Blake and others

Nov 17, 2026 – Apr 18, 2027 Bloomsbury

Opening soon

Contemporary art, photography and historic objects on children’s relationship with nature, gardens and play.

The show links the Foundling Hospital’s 18th-century landscape to the gardens, playgrounds and green spaces that shape children’s lives now, and asks what happens when access to nature is unequal. Histories of childhood sit beside the views of young people today.

Archival material and historic objects, including 18th-century seed lists and the botanical motifs of the Court Room Gallery, are shown with works by Joy Gregory, Andy Holden, Jade de Montserrat, Mark Neville, Quentin Blake, Larry Achiampong and David Blandy.
