In her captivating book Garden Physic, Sylvia Legris delves into the intricate world of flora, offering a fresh and vibrant perspective on plants. Through her glinting studies on various botanical species such as mariner's root, throatwort, wild rocket, and cuckoo point, Legris creates a rich and luminous vegetal mesh. By combining the histories of botanical manuscripts and pharmacopeias with imagined letters between garden designers Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson, as well as playful illustrations throughout, Legris crafts an idiosyncratic botanical glossolalia that accompanies her meanderings through the physical space of the garden. These luscious poems serve as a testament to the profound and interconnected human relationship with plants, advocating for a radical reimagining of how we can harness our ancient symbiosis with living greenery to enhance our lives, heal our bodies, and nourish our souls.
