Synopsis: LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKS ARE MY BAG READERS AWARD FOR NON-FICTION THE TIMES / WATERSTONES TOP 10 BESTSELLER A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR THE INDEPENDENT, STYLIST, RHS, GARDENS ILLUSTRATED and more Women have always gardened, but our stories have been buried with our work. Alice Vincent is on a quest to change that: to understand what encourages women to go out, work the soil, plant seeds and nurture them, even when so many other responsibilities sit upon their shoulders. To recover the histories that have been lost among the soil and to understand women's lives, their gardens and what the ground has offered them. Wise, curious and sensitive, Why Women Grow follows Alice in her search for answers, with inquisitive fronds reaching and curling around the intimate anecdotes of others.
