El 17 de agosto anunciaron la prohibición del uso de mangueras. Yo había dejado de usarla hacía varias semanas. No soportaba regar el jardín, considerar que mi trozo de tierra era más importante que cualquier otro, y tampoco soportaba ver morir a mis preciadas plantas.

The Roots of The Garden Against TimeI’ve always wanted to restore a garden, ever since I first read The Secret Garden as a child. The books that I grew up on were thicketed with gardens: shaggy, mysterious, unkempt spaces in which lost or lonely children could discover marvels. My favourite was The Children of Green Knowe by Lucy M. Boston, set in a big fenland house surrounded by a wonderful, slightly sinister garden complete with walking topiary and seventeenth-century ghosts.

Una ciudadanía informada es una condición necesaria para un futuro “sin dejar a nadie atrás”, basado en los principios democráticos y los derechos humanos. Nuestras sociedades no podrán gozar de una verdadera libertad si no cuentan con información adecuada acerca de la “cosa pública” para tomar decisiones —informadas— en todos los ámbitos, sean políticos, económicos, sociales o ambientales.

/ 8 de octubre de 2024 / 06:02Siempre he pensado que los jardines son lugares benignos e incluso virtuosos. No fue hasta los confinamientos de 2020 que los jardines empezaron a adquirir un aspecto más siniestro en mi mente, como paraísos de privilegios soleados a los que los afortunados podían retirarse mientras los menos afortunados quedaban atrapados en el interior.

Arts Funding decisions by government bodies aren’t usually a public talking point. When they become one, it tends to be because a government department has made an easy-to-ridicule spending choice or plans to push a cultural sacred cow under the sword of Damocles. But in 2021, a funding decision made by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage (MCH) raised the eyebrows of more than a few in the literary community.

Here I thought, all this time, that the biggest challenges in my personal gardening universe were persistent weeds, plant-eating bugs, scary invasives like bamboo and Japanese knotweed, bark-gnawing rabbits, assorted animal droppings, and the almost inevitable Canadian surprise frost.

July is, without a doubt, my favorite month. I love to sink into summer vacation mode with lots of swimming, berry picking, scary movies, breezy beach reads, and all of the beauty New Hampshire has to offer. I find myself feeling more curious in the summer - perhaps because the natural world is more accessible or maybe from the slower pace I tend to take on - and decided that this year I would dive into a few topics that have absolutely nothing to do with my day job.
