Hi Jennifer,
Longtime reader etc etc and I must thankyou for your always interesting blog.
I could find no mention of Emma Marris and her new book ‘The Rambunctious Garden’ on there so I wondered if you were aware of it. I thought it would generate some debate as it has with my group of friends, so I thought I’d pass it on.
The first link is to an article she co-wrote and the second a review of sorts. She is a superb writer and I commend it to you.
Best wishes for the season and the new year!
