Unearthed at Leeds Central Library
29 Sep 2025
On display is Batty Langley’s New Principles of Gardening. Penned in 1728, the book is filled with meticulous instructions and diagrams on how geometry can be applied to the design of gardens as well as detailed pointers on the best ways to plant and care for fruit trees. Leeds Central Library is hoping that public donations gathered through the course of the exhibition will enable the book to be repaired and restored to its former glory.
