¨Solace in a Time of Covid¨ (with a nod to Gabriel Garcia Marquez) by Bethe Hagens takes us to Maine, USA. In her hilltop garden, she has spent more than six years patiently clearing rubbish, creating soil and planning her dream garden with stone terraces and a great variety of edible plants and free-growing flowers. Her vision is a permanent area where plants, insects, animals and people live in community.
