There was a time when garden designer Cleve West questioned the
importance of his role as a garden designer. Two things changed his
mind: designing a garden for a hospital and adopting a vegan
lifestyle. Cleve's transition to veganism was a profound and varied
learning experience. He learned more about nutrition than when he
studied it as part of a sports science degree. He learned a great
deal about propaganda in the food industry and how, contrary to
what he'd been led to believe, the cows and chickens in the dairy
industry are far from 'happy'. He learned that animal agriculture
is a leading cause of climate change and a whole range of
environmental catastrophes. He found that many illnesses have their
origins in the consumption of animal products. He learned that a
plant-based diet can alleviate some of these illnesses and
sometimes even reverse them. He learned that a drive towards a
plant-based diet could offset many of the environmental aspects of
animal agriculture and make a positive transition to a more
sustainable future. Everything started falling into place. It was
all about plants. Suddenly, his role as a garden designer didn't
seem so trivial after all. The Garden of Vegan charts Cleve's
journey from its tentative beginnings to an understanding of the
restorative power of gardens and a realization that some of the
most destructive aspects of the Anthropocene can be mitigated or
even fixed by plants.
