About this book
In 1988, Katherine Swift begins making a garden beside an old house in Shropshire. The undertaking leads her beyond planting and design into the histories of the landscape, its former inhabitants, and her own family. Shaped around the rhythms of a medieval Book of Hours, her narrative moves through seasons while exploring the need to establish roots in a changing world. This is a literary memoir rather than a practical gardening manual, rich in sensory detail and historical curiosity. Its unhurried, intimate atmosphere makes room for spiritual reflection without separating it from soil, weather, work, and the complicated business of belonging.
