The Grove: A Nature Odyssey in 19 1/2 Front Gardens
Beyond the garden wall lies a wealth of cultivated plants, each with a unique tale to tell.
As Ben writes, in those small front gardens ‘are stories of ambition, envy, hope and failure’ and The Grove is about so much more than a single street, or indeed the plants found in its 19 1/2 front gardens. It’s a beguiling blend of horticultural history and personal narrative and a lyrical exploration of why gardens and gardening matter.
