Though she now has a large following on her Instagram account, \u003cem\u003e@CQGardens\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten 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 dragonflies and flag irises. Over the years, she has come to realise that gardening, just like life, is a series of happy accidents, unplanned successes, and baffling and frustrating failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated by Caroline herself, this gorgeous book mixes personal stories of her life and experiences in the garden, with practical tips, recipes for food and drink, and even the occasional favourite poem. As she likes to misquote Dorothy Parker: 'Take to horticulture, it's cheaper than a shrink'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46832821862636,"sku":"9780711290556","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6292173482441.jpg?v=1758411410"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/caroline-quentin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
