A Gardener’s Year is for those who love plants and outdoor places. But it's more than a record of horticultural activities through the seasons. It’s about having a dream and making it come true. This dream may, for many, be about growing plants from seed and then seeing them bloom, or harvesting vegetables for the table. But for Fennel, who has spent half his life working in gardens, it’s about a bigger vision: finding a rural cottage where he can create a garden and aspire to a self-sufficient life. The Journal sees him sow the seeds of this future reality.
Fennel’s Journal is the heartfelt and entertaining account of one man’s search for an old-fashioned and peaceful rural life. Written by eccentric English countryman Fennel Hudson, the Journal traces his attempts to balance the pressures of modern living by following the mantra of ‘Stop – Unplug – Escape – Enjoy’.
