Find solace in your outdoor space in this delightful horticultural
journey with actress Caroline Quentin, as she draws on her
life-long passion for gardening. Through the pages of this gift
book, Caroline shows how much joy she gets from spending time in
her garden, whether it be grappling with the best way to grow
plants and vegetables, or raising seeds in her potting shed. Though
she now has a large following on her Instagram account, @CQGardens,
her attitude to gardening is the same as it has always been –
expertise helps but is not essential. Gardening should be fun and
enjoyable, filled with the simple pleasures of planning, planting,
harvesting and cooking. It is also a meditative and restorative
pastime, and a great way to lift your spirits. Written in
a warm and engaging way that reflects her personality,
Caroline tells stories of growing chillies from seed in her
greenhouse, berating the thieving blackbirds in her fruit cage, and
swimming in her pond singing to dragon flies and flag irises. Over
the years, she has come to realise that gardening, just like life,
is a series of happy accidents, unplanned successes, and baffling
and frustrating failures. Illustrated by Caroline herself, this
gorgeous book mixes personal stories of her life and experiences in
the garden, with practical tips, recipes for food and drink, and
even the occasional favourite poem. As she likes to misquote
Dorothy Parker: ‘Take to horticulture, it’s cheaper than a
shrink’.
