Day 356: lighten our darkness

Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year

Yesterday, as you’ll no doubt have noticed, was the winter solstice. The year turns once again and, ever so tentatively at first, we begin to leave the darkness behind – hope, with an awareness that there are still plenty of dark days to get through. It’s a turning point for me too as I reach the final straight of this #gardeninspo365 project on which many of you have so kindly kept me company – the last ten of my daily blog posts from the garden and, while I won’t be posting with quite such obsessive frequency in 2022, there’s not a chance I’ll stop writing, instagramming, and podcasting about plants and gardens. If there’s one thing we learn from attempting to attune ourselves to the rhythms of the natural world, it’s that while everything changes, everything somehow remains the same. The corollary of which being that while everything remains the same, everything also changes – it’s a puzzle I’ve long being trying to unpick, though I keep losing the ends.
