The Bumblebee Flies Anyway: A year of gardening and (wild)life

Beautiful, heartfelt book about building something new from an unpromising start, mending a broken heart, and a deep love for family, gardening and wildlife. Building her garden from scratch, Kate renews herself, and her love song to gardening and wildlife is intertwined with a tale of a horrendous event within her family. This book is deeply moving, and both a memoir of a difficult personal time, and a real education about the small but important changes we can all make in our gardens and outside spaces. Set in my hometown of Brighton, it feels extra relevant, and has filled me with inspiration for my own garden.
