What is the Garden Museum?
Architect Joe Howland said: “Phase one was to design and install a new timber structure to extend the existing one. It’s been a slow process as it’s a very old building. We’ve had to think carefully about the archaeology of the church. We are hoping to have phase two complete next March.”
Phase two includes painting both the new and old timber structures using linseed paint.
“I’m really pleased with the samples. The darker knots on the older timber aren’t causing any problems, which I’d initially expected. I wanted to create an effect where the knots of the wood show through and create a natural feel to the Garden Museum”.
The new timber structures create a pathway to guide visitors through the exhibitions. The timber walls create new galleries for the permanent collection and for temporary exhibitions. There’s also a new education room.
The new interior layout of the building has also allowed the museum’s wide range of events and workshops to take place including over 30 talks and interviews, plant sales and much more.
