In the 19th century fern madness swept through Britain and Devon was at the centre of the craze. Sarah Whittingham will tell the story of pteridomania from tales of fern forays to the invention of the Wardian case; the creation of verdant ferneries to the ferns in the decorative arts. In partnership with Devon Gardens Trust.
Tickets: £4.50 (£3), available in person or by phone using a credit or debit card on 01392 265858 during opening hours.
