Summer is upon us - and the Why Women Grow podcast has gone on tour in Provence. Among the lavender fields, chateaux, rose gardens and town squares of Southern France, we meet three women who have made dramatic and inspiring life choices to work with nature in a different way. If you've ever dreamed of giving it all up for a wilder way of being somewhere warm, our guests have plenty to offer in this new series: The French Life. Stay tuned for new episodes of the Why Women Grow Podcast, with me Alice Vincent, coming on 10th June.

What is the worst thing that could ever happen to a journalist? So begins the twisty, compelling and deliciously seductive Bring The House Down, Charlotte Runcie's debut novel and, officially, the most fun book Alice Vincent has read in years. Which is why she insisted that Char sit down and put up with her enthusiastic grilling of her about her sensational novel.This week marks the long-awaited publication of Bring The House Down, a modern revenge novel set at the Edinburgh Fringe, in which a morally dubious critic damns a one-woman show - only to have a one-night-stand with its creator hours afterwards.In response, scorned woman Hayley transforms her performance into a one-star review of his life, dredging up every bad thing Alex has ever done. The result is a novel that cleverly interrogates criticism, cancel culture and online discourse, while offering up some brilliant gags in the process.Today we celebrate Bring The House Down and Charlotte, and talk about her process behind the book - as well as the reality of writing it in six weeks after abandoning two other works in progress.You'd be very well-advised to buy your copy of Bring The House Down here.In Haste is hosted by Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie, and is produced by Holly Fisher for Hasty Productions.

Publishing, like every other aspect of life, is not immune from the trends cycle. In fact, it's probably far more susceptible to what's in vogue or not than it would like to admit. Remember when Gone Girl took the reading world by storm, and ushered in domestic noir in the process? Or that moment a few years ago with contemporary, female-focussed fiction was suddenly all being printed with covers of faceless women? If you think nobody else has influenced your reading taste, then we're here to remind you that the Miranda Priestley cerulean sweater rule applies to books too.And we thought it was about time we got into one of publishing's most, well, horny trends of the moment: romantasy.A blend of romance and fantasy genres, today's guest, SFF specialist literary agent Maddy Belton, explains that romantasy novels are ones in which the high stakes of a fantasy novel (two, often magical or otherworldly political factions, which may or may not be human, are fighting for good and evil) are matched by the stakes of a love affair. Fourth Wing, the first in Rebecca Yarros's sexy dragon saga the Empyrean series, offers a good case in point: our confused heroine is bound together, through the magic of dragons, with a man she is told wants her dead due to inherited political alliance. Furthermore: they both fancy each other.In this episode we delve into how and why Romantasy has become such a force to be reckoned with, what it tells us about why we read what we do, and where to start if we're curious.And a reminder: we've now set up an In Haste bookshop.org page - this is where you can buy all of the titles featured in the show. We'll benefit from a tiny bit of kickback, which helps keeps the podcast in production. And if you love In Haste, we rely on substack subscriptions to exist. We'd love it if you were able to upgrade yours today.In Haste is hosted by Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie, and is produced by Holly Fisher for Hasty Productions.

Tonight sees the 70th Ivor Novello awards taking place at Grosvenor House in London.  They are coveted in the UK music industry because they specifically celebrate songwriting. Singer-songwriter Lola Young leads the nominations this year including one for 'best song musically and lyrically' for her breakthrough hit Messy, which spent a month at number one in the UK earlier this year.  Does this spell good news for women in the music industry? Anita Rani is joined by Linda Coogan-Byrne to discuss. If you've ever had the bad luck of getting a UTI - or Urinary Tract Infection - you'll know how painful they can be. It's a bacterial infection which can affect the bladder, urethra or kidneys and give a burning or stinging sensation when you urinate. Yesterday, in a powerful parliamentary session, the Labour MP Allison Gardner spoke through tears as she described her experiences of chronic UTIs. The MP for Stoke on Trent is now hoping to launch a cross-party parliamentary group to look at chronic UTIs - Allison joins Anita, as does the GP Ellie Cannon. A major new exhibition opens this week at The Imperial War Museum in London. Called Unsilenced: Sexual Violence in Conflict, it looks at the atrocities inflicted during war and conflict from the First World War until the present day. Helen Upcraft is the exhibition's lead curator and Sara Bowcutt is the Managing Director of Women for Women International, one of the NGOs working in the field of sexual violence in conflict, who've also contributed to this exhibition. They join Anita in the studio.Women and listening... how do women listen? How good a listener are you? Two books out this month focus on listening, from listening to sounds to listening more deeply to other people. Anita speaks to writers Alice Vincent, and Emily Kasriel.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

How can you create more space for reading in your life, and rediscover the joy of it?It's the run-up to publication for Charlotte's debut novel, Bring the House Down, and the post-publication glow for Alice's latest book, Hark: How Women Listen, so today we're talking about some of the weirdness that goes on the brain during the weeks before publishing a book, how we're dealing (or not) with all of that, and how far away it all feels from the actual writing process.And speaking of things that aren't writing, Char has a problem: she's been finding it unusually difficult to read, often only getting to page nine or ten before abandoning the latest book on her bedside TBR pile. Alice, on the other hand, has been blessed by abundant rains of reading inspiration, and is powering through book after book with joy. Char is after some advice for how to get back to that place. Is it just a matter of putting away your phone, or is there more to it than that? How does what you read shape what you write? Plus, we find out the surprising book that Alice read while she was giving birth, and the most turgid book that Char has ever read when trapped in a holiday cottage.What do you do when you find yourself reading less? How do you rediscover the joy of reading?In Haste is presented by Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie and is produced by Holly Fisher for Hasty Productions, with original music by Maria Chiara Argiró and graphic design by Alicia Fernandes.

In our teenage years, music can be everything. But as we age, our relationship with music changes.Alice Vincent was a music journalist for many years, and in this frank conversation tells Kate Mossman how childbirth, PTSD and depression turned her love of music into something darker. In her new book, Hark: How women listen, Alice recounts her quest to rediscover the power of music as an adult, a mother and after mental health battles. In this conversation, Alice and Kate discuss how her quest took her from an anechoic chamber in south London to the Mojave desert - and how music is finally returning to her life.Hark: How women listen is available to buy here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/11114/9781805302063Read Kate Mossman's review here: https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/book-of-the-day/2025/04/sounds-that-shape-us Hosted on Acast.

It's the biggest gardening show on earth - and this spring, the Why Women Grow podcast is finding out what it's really like to be a female designer at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. This is The Designers, our Spring miniseries, which has taken us from dappled shade of South London gardens to the foothills of Welsh mountains and straight to Main Avenue. We're troubling gardening's toughest glass ceiling - and learning about grief, joy, survival and creation on the way.  Join me, Alice Vincent, for all-new episodes of the Why Women Grow podcast, launching on the 20th May. 

What does it meant to be a creative animal? Writing a book and having a baby can be oddly similar experiences: both take a long time and are not exactly pain-free. Alice and Charlotte have even done both at once, and in today's episode we talk about what it's like to bring a book and a baby into the world simultaneously, and to write about it along the way.We're joined today by Helen Jukes, the author of Mother Animal, a memoir of pregnancy and birth and an unforgettably visceral exploration of the physical transformations of motherhood. Helen is an author and nature writer who has thought deeply about the complex physical experiences of mothering and writing. Mother Animal charts the diverse variations on mothering found in the animal kingdom, and sparks our discussion today on what else mothering can look like and what it can mean more deeply as a creative process.How important is community to the way we nurture new life? What do we mean when we talk about “natural” processes, and can a focus on nature blind us to the realities of toxicity and pollution? And how can we nurture the wild and animalistic sides of ourselves?How do you balance the different forms of creativity in your life?In Haste is presented by Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie, and is produced by Holly Fisher for Hasty Productions.

Have we got over a cultural reluctance to read literature in translation?Alice and Charlotte have both been reading Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico, and it's got us thinking about the unique experience of reading literature from another culture. In today's episode, we speak to the novelist and translator Lauren Elkin about what it's like to render a book in a different language, the scourge of bad translations, and whether translators are finally beginning to get more respect and recognition.We also discuss the huge impact of Fitzcarraldo's publishing on contemporary literature, the importance of good design in publishing, hip literary parties, and why some books become widely read in some languages but never find their audience in others.In Haste is presented by Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie, and is produced by Holly Fisher for Hasty Productions, with original music by Maria Chiara Argiró and graphic design by Alicia Fernandes.

What could it mean to listen more deeply? Alice's extraordinary new book, Hark: How Women Listen, is published this week, and in today's episode of In Haste, Charlotte couldn't resist the opportunity to ask her all about how it came into being.Alice turns interviewee as Charlotte finds out more about her evolution from passionate music journalist to author enveloped in the unfamiliar soundworlds of new life, in the wake of the birth of Alice's first child.We discuss how Hark explores the mystery of phantom crying, the trauma of hospital sounds, the listening done by female spies and the thrill of musical connections between women as we dive into the book that Alice has been working on ever since In Haste began, following her journey to rediscover sound as something alive, vital and restorative.And, because this is In Haste, we also confront the realities of the writing process, and what it feels like to write about real life while in the middle of living it.Get your copy of Hark: How Women Listen by Alice Vincent here!In Haste is presented by Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie and is produced by Holly Fisher for Hasty Productions, with original music by Maria Chiara Argiró and graphic design by Alicia Fernandes.

Alice Vincent was a music journalist for many years, which had already started to shift how she listened, but then pregnancy and a deep trauma when her baby was very small led to her relationship with sound fracturing. In her new book, Hark: How Women Listen, she explores how she rebuilt that relationship, and also talks to other women about their experiences with sound and listening.   Our Mick got on the Zoom to talk about the different way sounds land in female bodies, and how we could all be listening more mindfully. Hark: How Women Listen is available for pre-order now and out on May 1. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Oscar-winning Michelle Yeoh's career has spanned four decades. Starting out as a martial arts actor, she became a key figure in the Hong Kong action scene. But it was her role in James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies that catapulted her into Hollywood. She's since starred in many hits including Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the multi-Oscar winning movie - including for her own performance - Everything Everywhere all At Once. Now, she's in the film adaptation of the musical Wicked. She joins Nuala McGovern live in the studio to discuss it.The Women's Equality Party voted to dissolve the organisation at a special conference this weekend. The political party was launched in 2015 to campaign for gender equality. Citing financial challenges and a changed political landscape, the leadership chose to recommend members vote to close down the party. In an exclusive interview, the two party co-founders - Catherine Mayer and Sandi Toksvig - join Nuala. In a recent article, the author and writer Alice Vincent asks: Why does nobody speak about post-breastfeeding depression? This was something she experienced after she stopped breastfeeding her son. Alice joins Nuala to discuss her experience of stopping breastfeeding along with Hilda Beauchamp, perinatal and infant mental health lead at the Institute of Health Visiting, and a midwife and health visitor by background.Es Devlin is the artist and stage designer responsible for some of the most iconic moments in recent popular culture.

How does the natural world around us shape who we are?Authors Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie have both found themselves drawn to writing about landscapes.

How does reading and writing change you?Joining Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie this week is the author Cathy Rentzenbrink, who doesn't like being described as an “acclaimed memoirist”, and would rather we described her as an “honest puzzler” - or something even less kind.But she has, in fact, written many excellent memoirs and novels, and there's no getting around it. Her clear-eyed, truth-filled writing tackles subjects including profound grief, as well as her own very personal relationship with books and reading. In today's conversation, we discuss the strange otherworldliness of writing, and how sometimes an author needs to dive down into the book and away from reality:“I get very very lonely and then actually feel a bit mad. Especially writing fiction, I think you need to submerge. You need to go down a few layers and a few levels, but then you get the bends when you're trying to jump out.”Each episode of In Haste is accompanied by an original essay on Substack by Alice Vincent or Charlotte Runcie exploring its wider themes at inhaste.substack.com.In Haste is produced by Holly Fisher for Hasty Productions, with original music by Maria Chiara Argiró and graphic design by Alicia Fernandes.

Can books make us more patient?In Haste is back! This week, writers Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie speak to Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of three beautiful novels (The Sleep Watcher, Starling Days, and Harmless Like You) about teaching writing, learning about writing, whether writers tend to be dog people or cat people, and patience.“There are some writers I see who write something, and it isn't quite what they imagined, and so they throw it out, and they write something new. They're not able to sit with the discomfort of it not being quite right, and work through to something they're happy with.“And then I see, weirdly, the opposite thing, which I think comes from the same place. Which is writers who are constantly re-editing the first five pages, because they want to get the voice right, and they stick with those first five pages and go over and over and over them. I think for most people, if they write the rest of the story, it's much easier to figure out what those five pages need. But they're so impatient to have something that feels like the finished thing. If they could let themselves live with something imperfect, it would have the chance to grow.”Each episode of In Haste is accompanied by an original essay on Substack by Alice Vincent or Charlotte Runcie exploring its wider themes at inhaste.substack.com.In Haste is produced by Holly Fisher for Hasty Productions, with original music by Maria Chiara Argiró and graphic design by Alicia Fernandes.

You'd write a great book if only you had the time. Well, there are all sort of things we'd do if we had enough time. But what if you never have enough time? Would you try, anyway? What if, in fact, right now is the most time you'll ever have?In this episode of In Haste, authors Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie speak to Oliver Burkeman, the journalist and internationally bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals.Oliver joins Alice and Charlotte in the writing hut to discuss how authors find time to write and the strange ways that our perception of time shifts when we have lots of things we really want to do.

There are certain rites of passage that take place after a major break-up. For some, it's a hair-cut or a big solo trip, or a regrettable rebound with someone the polar opposite of your ex. My guest this week, Alice Vincent, departed from the cliches: for her, it was growing plants. In her partly autobiographical books, Rootbound and more recently Why Women Grow, Alice chronicles how she came to growing plants as a way to heal and regain a sense of control after a break-up in her late twenties. As her life has changed – Alice is now married with her first child – gardening has remained a constant for her. In this episode, we discuss how Alice has navigated the changes of the past seven years, how gardening has allowed her to maintain a version of independence throughout it, and why she never feels lonely while out in the garden. Later, Alice also shares her tips for beginning your gardening journey by yourself, whether it's just growing herbs on a windowsill, using a balcony space or joining a community garden. TakeawaysAlone time can be a valuable and fulfilling experience, allowing for personal growth and self-reflection.Creating personal space, whether through gardening or other activities, can provide a sense of independence and freedom.Navigating relationships and sharing space with a partner requires constant communication and a willingness to compromise.Taking time alone, whether through solo trips or dedicated alone time at home, can be rejuvenating and empowering.00:00Introduction 04:34Transition to Writing06:27Exploring Alonement07:43Defining Alone09:38Aloneness in Different Life Stages10:35The Luxury of Alone Time13:04Navigating Alone Time14:28Themes in Rootbound and Why Women Grow15:21Finding Solace in Gardening19:46Creating Space for Oneself20:46Gardening as a Solitary Activity24:41The Meditative Nature of Gardening27:03Living with a Partner and Maintaining Independence30:16The Ambivalence of Sharing Space34:32Choosing Relationships on One's Own Terms38:52Creating Personal Space43:37Tips for Starting a Growing Journey47:21Taking Time Alone50:07Ultimate Alone Time With a one-off payment of £5, you can listen to the Alonement podcast ad-free. https://plus.acast.com/s/alonement.

As the surrounding world starts looking a little bleaker, we've decided to explore how to best turn our homes into verdant oases. RHS Digital Editor Jenny Laville chats with Gareth Richards about the best low-maintenance houseplants, fun climbers for indoors, and underrated care tips and tricks. Social historian Catherine Horwood regales us with the history of ever-changing houseplant trends.

What draws women to gardening? That's what Alice Vincent delves into in her newest book, Why Women Grow - and Sam and Kim are here with a bottle of wine in tow to offer their thoughts on horticulture, womanhood, and the need to cultivate.

Welsh poet Jonathan Edwards is the latest subject of the Nothing But The Poem podcast. As always our host Sam Tongue takes a deep dive into two of his poems which were discussed at the online monthly meet-up of the Nothing But The Poem group. Jonathan Edwards is a multi-award winning poet - including the Costa Book Prize for Poetry (2014) and the Troubadour Poetry Prize in 2022 - and has had two full collections of poetry published: My Family And Other Superheroes (2014) and Gen (2018). Edwards' poems draw lovingly from pop culture and sport, as well as from his family, community and a sense of Welshness. His first collection was described by critic Alice Vincent as having poems "in which celebrities and fictional characters such as Sophia Loren and Evel Knievel collide with reflections on the social architecture of working class Welsh valleys." The two poems discussed in this podcast are Evel Knievel Jumps Over My Family and Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren in Crumlin for the Filming of Arabesque, June 1965

What is the inspiration behind your love of gardening and all things floral? Each of us tells a vastly different story, and that diversity is at the heart of Alice Vincent's new, heartwarming book.‘Why Women Grow' paints a stunning visage of the reasons that women take to the garden, reasons that often are buried deep within the work that they do. Consider Alice's work the chance to let those stories bloom… We hear a little of Alice's own muse, the balcony garden plants that allowed her passion to flourish, and a few of the moving stories from her book with such poignance.In this episode, discover:How Alice found inspiration in balcony gardening and nurtured it into an all-encompassing passionIdeal flowers for balcony pots, bringing structure, smell and spectacle to even the smallest of urban spacesThe one, deeply insightful question that elicits so many heartwarming stories for Alice to bring to life in her book, ‘Why Women Grow'Get in touch: info@sarahraven.comShop on the Sarah Raven Website: http://bit.ly/3jvbaeu Follow Sarah: https://bit.ly/3jDTvBpFollow Arthur: https://bit.ly/3jxSKK5

At the RHS, we try to think critically about the ways we cultivate the earth and interact with the wildlife that inhabit our green spaces everyday. But this week, in honour of Earth Day, we wanted to take extra time to really celebrate our gardens – and to share our love for the many plants and animals that bring them to life. Gardener and writer Ben Dark shares a history of the tulip that stretches back 1,000 years, RHS Senior Ecologist Gemma Golding chats with us about her exciting wildlife research, and artist and author James Bridle takes us through his exploration of the intelligence of plants.

Alice Vincent is a multi-platform storyteller based in London, and examining with gusto and curiosity the intricacies of words and language, of what it is to be human, to be a woman, and to be always in service to the wonders – large and small, grief-laden and joy-spangled - of everyday life. The author of several previous books, including her nature memoir - Rootbound, Rewilding a Life, Alice goes by the name Noughticulture online. For our final episode in this year's five-part series of Cultivating Place in honor of Women's History Month, I caught up with Alice just a few short weeks ago to talk in-depth about her newest work: Why Women Grow, Stories of Soil, Sisterhood, and Survival. It is a moving, indeed verdant, tapestry of Alice's own story as a woman "going to ground" to grow herself, intertwined with that stories of other women gardening across Great Britain and beyond and what that has meant to their own lives and to our collective understanding of both gardens and women. Since we spoke, Alice has added one more title to her life list: mother. Enjoy! Cultivating Place now has a donate button!

Vu sur La chronique de Patsy (66) : Ulysse Lojkine et Alice Vincent, Découvrir Luxemburg, Ulysse Lojkine et Alice Vincent, Découvrir Luxemburg, Editions sociales, 2021. Avec ce livre aux Éditions sociales, les philosophes Ulysse Lojkine et Alice Vincent proposent aux lecteurs de re-découvrir la pensée de la militante révolutionnaire froidement abattue un jour de janvier 1919 par une police républicaine aux ordres d'un ministre de l'Intérieur socialiste. (Patsy) Cet article provient de Radio AlterNantes FM

Entretien avec Alice Vincent et Ulysse Lojkine par Guillaume Fondu. Depuis son assassinat en 1919, Rosa Luxemburg a fait l'objet de canonisations diverses. Célébrée comme une martyre de la révolution par les bolcheviks, elle est également revendiquée par leurs adversaires pour sa critique de l'autoritarisme de Lénine et de certains traits de la révolution de 1917. Mais elle est plus généralement considérée comme une figure romantique, d'autant plus sympathique que la plupart de ses textes encore édités sont des lettres de prison, des lettres d'amour ou consacrées à chanter la beauté de la nature. C'est oublier que Luxemburg fut avant tout une dirigeante révolutionnaire aux positions tranchées qui s'est battue toute sa vie, avec son parti mais également en son sein, contre le capitalisme, le chauvinisme et la bureaucratie. Émission organisée à l'occasion de la publication aux Éditions sociales Découvrir Rosa Luxemburg, par Ulysse Lojkine et Alice Vincent, à retrouver ici : https://editionssociales.fr/catalogue/decouvrir-luxemburg/.

TW: In our discussion with Lauren Elkin, we mention sexual harassment, violence against women, and rape, as well as the ongoing case regarding the abduction, rape, and murder of Sarah Everard.  How does someone make space for themselves? How does someone find freedom? It is hard, to know your place and to ask for it.  It's even harder for people who do not belong to sexual, gender, race majority.  In the case of women, it's been long proven how the world is not built for them. How cities are not a safe and welcoming place. Just this week, we are waiting for the verdict on the abudction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard, which happened last March, and which sparked a timid reflexion on masculinity in space and how we need to rethink gender dynamics in public space.  Maybe surprisingly, there is a long history of women using gardening and horticulture to build their own space. Maybe making space for oneself, can be just finding a way to carve time to build and grow something.    Today, in the Women Shaping the World podcast, we speak to two authors, Alice Vincent and Lauren Elkin, about literally shaping the world. Lauren Elkin discusses her books and work on urban women and “flaneuses”. Alice Vincent tells us about her book, Rootbound, where she candidly discusses her heartbreak and how gardening and relinking with nature helped her move forward.    Ressources:  Sexual Abuse Support - https://sexualabusesupport.campaign.gov.uk Rape Crisis -https://rapecrisis.org.uk Reclaim these Streets - https://reclaimthesestreets.com

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. Read more by clicking on ‘Episode Web Page' below.

This week we're gardening on barges, balconies and in bathrooms in a programme dedicated to urban gardening. Writer Alice Vincent dispenses tips on plants, pots and more from her London balcony garden 40ft above the ground. Freddie Blackett of Patch Plants talks about the changing ways we're buying and using houseplants, and permaculture designer Poppy Okotcha shares her experiences gardening on a houseboat in the heart of the city.

In four short, easy-to-listen chapters, Alice will explain sowing, germination, sprouting and re-potting so they feel as easy as buying a bunch of flowers. (P)2020 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

The parents of a six month old have set up a petition asking the government to extend maternity leave by an extra three months. They believe that the lockdown has meant parents have missed out on the usual things you’d do on maternity, putting them at a disadvantage. There’s already been a parliamentary Q&A about this, and the signatures are still coming in. It’s not know yet whether it’ll be debated in the House of Commons but there will be another Q&A session on Thursday this week. Jane discusses the arguments with the petition's originator. After the summer half term holiday, some children will be returning to school. Those in reception and years 1,6, 10 and 12 will be the first to be welcomed back to the classroom in just under two weeks’ time. Many headteachers have begun speaking to parents about their concerns and their likely decision. We discuss the issues that parents are having to weigh up and the pressures that they face. In her new book of short stories ‘The Ministry of Guidance and Other Stories’, Golnoosh Nour shares the rich and varied experiences of queer Iranians. She talks to Jane about how her writing was inspired by interviews with her friends, and how she wanted to depict strong Iranian women to counteract their regular portrayal as victims. Samaritans volunteers have always been there, 24 hours a day, to listen to people in crisis. But how are they coping with the added strain of coronavirus? Listener Anne from Folkestone talks about her experience for today’s Woman’s Hour Corona Diary. Even before lockdown, younger people were turning to gardening in their droves – filling their Instagram feeds with beautifully tended houseplants and waxing lyrical about the therapeutic effects. But now we’re all housebound, more people might be tempted to transform their surroundings. But how easy is it to get gardening for the first time? Alice Vincent and Claire Ratinon give us their advice. Alice is a recent convert, she gardens on a balcony in London and her real time gardening audiobook “Seeds from Scratch” comes out this week. Claire Ratinon wouldn’t have thought twice about growing anything until 5 or 6 years ago – but she now specialises in growing food organically in urban spaces and her book “How to grow your dinner without leaving the house” comes out in August.

When faced with heartache, music journalist Alice Vincent found a surprising remedy in her tiny balcony garden at her London flat.   A complete gardening novice, Alice made the most of the little space and resources she had. What started as a distraction became an obsession and Alice slowly built a small urban sanctuary teeming with greenery and heady blooms.    She quickly came to realise the almost magical healing power of planting and growing. A new and life-changing kind of love story blossomed…   In this episode, Alice explains how even the most unlikely spaces – from concrete yards to windowsills - can be transformed into beautiful ‘micro-gardens’. And she shares her personal experience of the positive effect of gardening on our wellbeing.

This Friday on Tea & Tattle Podcast, I’m joined by the writer, Alice Vincent, to discuss Alice’s memoir, Rootbound, which is a beautiful exploration of the restorative qualities of nature. Reeling from an unexpected breakup, Alice found herself increasingly drawn to planting up pots on her urban balcony and to exploring the wider world of horticulture, engaging in community gardening projects near her home in London, researching the history of women and plants and plotting travel abroad around botanic gardens to visit. As Alice gained greater knowledge in nurturing and growing plants, she also began to question what a life well-lived meant to her, beyond the many trappings of the millennial generation. Rootbound takes the reader month by month through a year in which Alice gardened herself out of heartbreak, found new love and embraced independence. Rootbound is a wonderful read for anyone who finds solace from the natural world, and I had such a fun time chatting to Alice about her growing love for horticulture and the research that went into her book.

Would we all be happier if we took up gardening? Possibly. Certainly, when Alice was left heartbroken after the collapse of a long-term relationship, she found tending to the collection of plants on the balcony of her South London flat helpful. The creator of the hugely popular ‘plantstagram' account @noughticulture, Alice's memoir Rootbound: Rewilding a Life is beautifully written, and woven with fascinating dives into botanical history - as well as genuinely useful green-fingered advice. I loved chatting about her early career in music journalism interviewing wayward rock stars, the discipline it took to write alongside a full-time job, why botany was an early breeding ground for feminism, how she navigates the down sides of social media when she has such a massive following - and why you shouldn't feed plants in winter.
