Alice Vincent is an author, garden writer and journalist who, at the time of recording, gardened on her balcony in London. Her book, Rootbound, Rewilding a Life, describes her journey to becoming a gardener as an almost accidental way of supporting herself at a time of personal crisis and is a delightful read.

It is, she wrote herself, ‘about plants, and people, and the things that grow up in between the cracks - love, longing and life” and she weaves together the themes of gardening, coming of age, mental health, plants, travel and the history of women in gardening in a way that is readable, accessible and gave us masses to talk about.
