Description

Out of place and lonely after a relocation to Switzerland Beth Lynch realises that she needs to get her hands dirty if she is to put down roots. And so she sets about making herself at home in the way she knows best – by tending a garden growing things. The search for a garden takes her across the country through meadows and on mountain paths where familiar garden plants run wild to the rugged hills of the Swiss Jura where she begins to plant her paradise. WHERE THE HORNBEAM GROWS is a memoir about carrying a garden inwardly through loss dislocation and relocation about finding a sense of wellbeing in a green place of one’s own and about the limits of paradise in a peopled world. It is a powerful exploration of how in nurturing a corner of the natural world we ourselves are nurtured.
