What to expect
Narrated by Caroline Quentin
Find solace in your outdoor space in this delightful horticultural journey with actress Caroline Quentin, as she draws on her life-long passion for gardening.
Throughout this audio book, Caroline shows how much joy she gets from spending time in her garden, whether it be grappling with the best way to grow plants and vegetables, or raising seeds in her potting shed. Though she now has a large following on her Instagram account, @CQGardens, her attitude to gardening is the same as it has always been – expertise helps, but is not essential. Gardening should be fun and enjoyable, filled with the simple pleasures of planning, planting, harvesting, and cooking. It is also a meditative and restorative pastime, and a great way to lift your spirits.
Written in a warm and engaging way that reflects her personality, Caroline tells stories of growing chillies from seed in her greenhouse, berating the thieving blackbirds in her fruit cage, and swimming in her pond singing to dragon flies and flag irises. Over the years, she has come to realize that gardening, just like life, is a series of happy accidents, unplanned successes, and baffling and frustrating failures.
In this wonderful audio book, Caroline mixes personal stories from her life and experiences in the garden, with practical tips, recipes for food and drink, and even the occasional favorite poem. As she likes to misquote Dorothy Parker: ‘Take to horticulture, it’s cheaper than a shrink’.
