Full Description

"Funny and beautiful - and I hate gardening" DAVID BADDIEL

"An amazing book" ALISON STEADMAN

"Honest and funny and so very timely" FAY RIPLEY

When TV comedy writer Carl Gorham moved out of London to the country with
his wife and young daughter in 2005, he swopped a small, terraced
cottage with a thirty-foot garden for a large, detached house in Norfolk
with three acres. An extraordinary fifteen years followed, a roller
coaster ride of extraordinary highs and lows - bereavement, recovery,
prosperity, unemployment, illness, triumph, struggle and happiness.

My Life in a Garden describes that emotional, dramatic and comic period, a story told through the
changing relationship between the author and his garden. How they were
enemies, then friends. How he hated it, how he missed it. How he drew
strength and support and understanding from it. How at times it seemed
as if it was rebelling against him and trying to teach him something
about his own stubbornness.

My Life in a Garden is a book for the average, frustrated but dogged gardener; a story
about the thousand and one small frustrations that confront an
individual trying to master his environment; a tale to be enjoyed by
anyone who has ever failed to conquer bind weed, or despaired at the
manic growth of bamboo or wondered why all animals seem to do is just
poo everywhere.

It's a book for
our times, when we are seeking more than ever to understand our place in
the natural world and by extension, our relationship with the rest of
humanity.
