Gardening and growing has never been so popular, nor has the
awareness of why we need to do it been so acute. When Hazel Southam
took on an overgrown and neglected strip of ground in a local
council allotment, she had nothing more than beginner's enthusiasm
and fond memories of her late father's passion for growing. In This
Blessed Plot she relates with humour, wry observation and poignancy
the story of her first year as an allotment holder. With Hazel, we
feel the sheer effort of clearing the ground of debris and
patiently nourishing the exhausted soil, the camaraderie and
unexpected kindness of strangers, the pleasures of mending and
making do, the miracle of seeds sprouting, and the problem of what
do to with so much lettuce. This Blessed Plot speaks to the
zeitgeist that is gardening and mental and emotional health. But it
goes further and reflects gently on spiritual health too, on
friendship, generosity, wellbeing, and our mutual dependence on
creation and each other. Amusing, perceptive and wise, This Blessed
Plot is for anyone who has an interest in gardening.
