Women have always been involved in gardening, but their stories have often been overshadowed by their work. Alice Vincent is on a mission to change that. She aims to understand what motivates women to engage in gardening, whether it's the joy of nurturing plants, the satisfaction of growing their own food, or the therapeutic benefits of being in nature. Through her book, "Why Women Grow," Vincent seeks to uncover the lost histories of women who have been instrumental in shaping the world of gardening.
"Why Women Grow" is a much-needed exploration of why women turn to the earth as gardeners, growers, and custodians. This book emerged from a deep-seated desire to share the stories of women who are often silenced and overlooked. By doing so, Vincent fosters connections with gardeners that lead to a tender exploration of women's lives, their gardens, and the profound gifts that the earth has bestowed upon them. Conversations in the book span a wide range of topics, including creation, loss, celebration, grief, power, protest, identity, and renaissance.
Vincent's writing is wise, curious, and sensitive, following Alice on her search for answers. The book is filled with inquisitive fronds that reach and curl around intimate anecdotes of others, providing a glimpse into the diverse experiences and perspectives of women in the world of gardening.
Through "Why Women Grow," Alice Vincent hopes to inspire more women to embrace the joys of gardening and to recognize the significant contributions that women have made to the field. She believes that by reclaiming and celebrating the stories of women gardeners, we can create a more inclusive and diverse gardening community that honors the contributions of all individuals.
