Talk - Sex, Setting and Symbolism - 1 August 2025

Sex, Setting and Symbolism: An Exploration of the Garden in Literature by Dr Twigs Way

Twigs Way is a garden historian, writer and researcher. Twigs is fascinated by the past and intrigued by the role of flowers, gardens and landscape in art and culture of all kinds. Her talks and books reflect that endless curiosity with themes of symbolism and meaning, class and gender, art and literature. Her early work was on women in garden history and she has continued to follow that interest. Twigs is an accredited Arts Society lecturer and co-director of the MA in Garden History at Buckingham University. Her history of the Chrysanthemum in art and culture was published by Reaktion in 2020.
