December 5, 2024 | 1 min to read
In their book, Bridget Elworthy and Henrietta Courtauld, founders of The Land Gardeners, present a LUSCIOUS and RICH visual diary showcasing their journey in gardening. They emphasize that the essence of gardening lies not in achieving perfection, but in nurturing a vibrant ecosystem, reflecting on the "reality of the country and its seasons." Their story is filled with surprising coincidences and remarkable outcomes, offering inspiration to all gardeners.
The first two words that come to mind for this book are LUSCIOUS and RICH.
If I may borrow a line from the introduction, “the reality of the country and its seasons…” Everyone, every gardener, should take that sentence to heart. As Bridget Elworthy and Henrietta Courtauld, authors and owners of The Land Gardeners, write, “This is a story over a visual diary of all we have learned. The goal is not perfection, but rather a garden full of life.” It is a brilliant story with gasp-worthy coincidence and terrific outcomes.
