‘The stories are all so very different, some of them being quite compelling and tender featuring an interesting variety of voices and nationalities with a wide range of characters and settings.’
Advolly Richmond, garden historian, BBC Gardeners’ World TV presenter and author of A Short History of Flowers.
‘These short stories – about all manner of green and growing things – are tender, lyrical, and compelling. Whether real or imagined, familiar or exotic, delicate or potent, the plants and flowers depicted offer insightful meditations into the ways that the lives of plants can become entwined with our own.’
