Hide AdEthel was a committed and knowledgeable gardener and the Japanese Garden, which was her passion project, became her greatest legacy.
The exhibition runs alongside Journeys from Japan which showcases some of Nottingham City Museum’s own collection in a trail around the house highlighting the Webb’s love of Japanese culture.
As you head outside, Ethel and Geraldine also have hidden treasure from Japan in the gardens for the children too.
