PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Nick Stewart Smith has been a gardener all of his working life. He has a degree from Warwick University and has previously trained and worked in Barcelona at the historic Ciutadella Park, and as National Trust Head Gardener at Overbecks, a stunning subtropical garden on the Devon coast. Returning home to London, at the beginning of 2016 he was asked to take charge of the old garden at Lambeth Palace, where he remained until summer 2022. He now works as a freelancer, living between Camberwell and Peckham.
“It is a fascinating read and best of all, with appetite whetted, the reader can arrange to visit the garden which opens to the public through the National Garden Scheme.” * Country Life magazine * “A unique insight into a special place, written with tenderness and passion by a gardener with a real eye for detail” * Countryside magazine * Steward Smith professes not to be a writer but his easy, conversational style married with an extraordinary eye for horticultural, historical and even personal detail belies this. * The Field magazine * Readers will have their interest piqued by this captivating work, and can visit the garden to see for themselves (though Lambeth Palace itself is closed for refurbishment) * The Field magazine * His book is like the contented conversation between two people sharing a bench: ruminative, tangential, full of wisdom. * Church Times * A most charming and original story of a gardener and his garden -- Roy Lancaster A wonderful grasp of the natural world, and the delicate balance between the cultivated and the wildlings, and the gardener's role in bringing out the best of both -- Roy Lancaster
