Garden Futures Podcast Series
From expert tips to insights into the exhibition, this special series of podcasts digs deeper into the world of gardens and garden design!
Episode One – The Love of Gardens with Kirsty Wark and Monty Don
Join Monty Don and Kirsty Wark as they discuss hereditary habits, life changing moments and the ways a garden, a place where nature meets design, can shape our lives.
We also hear from Branklyn Garden’s Kate White, a National Trust For Scotland garden, on how Dorothy & John Renton’s fascination with rare and exotic plants led to a lifelong commitment along the River Tay.
Episode Two – Fashion and Dior with Elizabeth Tyler and Brigitte Richart
Dior’s garden-inspired collection of 1947 transformed the world of fashion. To explore that we’re joined by Garden Designer, and Writer Elizabeth Tyler (Vogue, New York Times), and Brigitte Richart, Director and Chief Curator at Musée Christian Dior in Granville, France.
From Kim Jones’ work featured in V&A Dundee’s Garden Futures to Musée Dior’s current exhibition Jardins Enchanteurs, we’ll uncover how gardens - beginning with the one at Christian Dior’s childhood home and current location of Musée Dior - have remained central to the fashion house’s identity.
