Writer and Gardens Illustrated columnist Alice Vincent, author of new book and podcast Why Women Grow, talks to Stephanie about her dream garden, from her fantasy writing studio inspired by Derek Jarman’s Prospect Cottage to a mossy path, naturalistic planting and a glasshouse for entertaining friends such as Diana Ross (the garden writer, not the disco diva). As well as this, she explains how she once had dinner with Piet Oudolf without knowing who he was, and why she won’t abide anything with a face in the garden. Learn more about your ad choices.
