Jonny Bruce: Gardening at Prospect Cottage

Jonny Bruce received a copy of “Modern Nature”. Already deeply interested in horticulture Jarman’s garden provided a unique intersection between art, politics and horticulture and the garden at Prospect Cottage formed the subject for Jonny Bruce’s undergraduate thesis. After Derek’s death in 1994 the garden was cared for by his partner Keith Collins and in the last years of his life Jonny assisted him tending the garden. In this film Jonny explores the continued legacy of Derek’s garden and its guardianship. See this film on the Garden Museum website.
