My review:????
Uprooted: A Gardener Reflects on Beginning Again is Page Dickey’s experience of leaving a well established garden and starting again.
Page Dickey is an American writer about gardens, and lived at Duck Hill, creating the gardens there during the 30 odd years she lived there. She and her husband decide to move, and start again, at Church House, and this the book of her experiences of starting again.
The photos in this book are amazing, and Page Dickey tells you her reasons for things like trying not using weed killer, being aware of invasive species, and the problems with not having a deer fence. She also describes reasons for putting plants in various places, and why she wanted to have native species of plants in the grounds.
This is a book that you’d enjoy even if you’re just dipping your toes in gardening as there’s a lot of passion and wisdom in these pages. And did I mention the beautiful photographs?
Uprooted: A Gardener Reflects on Beginning Again was published on 22nd September 2020, and is available on Amazon, Waterstones and your local independent bookshop.
