| A general prospect of Vauxhall Gardens c. 1751 (The Foundling Museum) |
Another great post from Deb Wiles on her blog, Got Soil? about the ever-fascinating Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens - well worth a read.
Listen up. Garden History Matters. It does and these are. The aim and hope of this blog is to 'up' the profile of this fascinating and diverse subject. And along the way to share some of the remarkable, quirky, bizarre and human stories that make garden history so enjoyable.

Back in January I touched on the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens in a post on the redevelopment of the Royal Docks as a pleasure gardens for the London Olympics.
Now, an exhibition at the Foundling Museum
in London (11 May to 9 September) explores the reasons behind the success of the Gardens over
such a long period.
History Today has a sneak preview of some of the images.
