About the book

From birth to death, horror to hilarity, this is a collection of stories for gardeners at home and away. Welsh women write about what gardens mean to them, what happens in them and where they take them... An Italian POW returns home to a mixed welcome from his family; a tale of loss set around a memorial oak sapling; memory and what it means to lose it; love between a mother and a daughter; and more. These are tales of sadness and happiness, home and abroad, which share a love of plants and planting, flowers and seeds, and the power of growing things to change lives.
