From the orangerie, she looked around the garden “it reminds me of Derek Jarman’s garden‘. She described pebbles, driftwood, wilderness holding-up brave plants. A pleasing story, as if she could see potential in my newly planted garden. As if she had a vision that flowed with my own anticipation
Later, I placed felled tree-stumps in the borders and a few big pebbles between the about-to-overgrow plants
This christmas she gave me a book, so I can see Derek’s garden for myself. As with his films and life, it continues to inspire
Inspiration is one of the best presents ever
