    Exhibition / Festival

Come and see a wonderful display of embroideries based on images from the RHS Lindley Library collections. Richmond and Leyburn Creative Stitchers have created beautiful embroideries that tell the story of the popular 19th century code used by lovers to exchange messages.

The snowdrop signified friendship and forget-me nots meant true love, but a gift of a pumpkin or a gourd was considered the height of bad manners  – find out why... by visiting our display at RHS Harlow Carr Library.
