At the very end of July, I was visited by a small team of creative people from The Modern House—not because my house is ‘modern’ (it’s not), but because they’ve launched a new thread about gardens too. Lifelong gardener and journalist Francine Raymond is leading the series How My Garden Grows and she is exploring various gardens through articles, a podcast, and even a short film. It was fun to do and the whole vibe is very chatty and relaxed, and the first episode went live yesterday. The plan is that The Modern House will return to our garden throughout the course of next year to see it as it develops through the seasons. Listening to the podcast yesterday for the first time, I was amazed they’d been able to patch anything cogent together—what with the keening seagull chicks, passing pesdestrians and cars (we are end-of-terrace), and my inability to remember the proper names of the plants – or indeed my husband’s height…. Kudos to Ellen Hancock for the photography too (it was threatening to rain for the whole time she was there!).
You’ll find Francine’s article here and within that, links out to the podcast and video.
