A celebration of my mother’s life. I am planting cabbages and remembering the gifts from my mother, the skills of propagation, the making of chaotic gardens. There are quotes from J S Bach, Ecclesiastes and The Australian Home Gardener. Information such as how to make soot water, support trees and examples of how we never quite grew sweet peas or made such a child’s garden. My mother’s voice is in the description of propagation by cuttings and by bulb division. I am Minnie, a name I have on Kangaroo Island.
