Unearthed: The Power of Gardening Exhibition at Carnegie Library

Unearthed: The Power of Gardening is a free display at Carnegie Library, Ayr from 2 May to 10 August 2025, exploring the transformative, enriching, and sometimes radical power of gardening. Inspired by the British Library’s major exhibition (2 May—10 August 2025), South Ayrshire Council is one of 30 library services celebrating gardening through the UK-wide Living Knowledge Network.

From windowsills to allotments, Unearthed: The Power of Gardening at Carnegie library explores how the act of gardening can heal and sustain people in a multitude of ways. It reveals how gardening can bring people together, empower communities and shape our relationship with the natural world. It also considers gardening as a form of activism, as a means of challenging land ownership and highlighting social disparities, as well as providing a global story about the movement of plants.

Free, drop-in exhibition, suitable for families.

The exhibition will be on display from May until 30 August 2025.
