In Julia's Morrab Miscellany through the alphabet we arrive at D, where we learn about DH Lawrence and the time he and his wife Frieda spent in West Cornwall, and how Charles Darwin's beloved dogs helped him develop his influential ideas.
Julia contemplates city gardens, the quiet green places that are so calming and a haven for those of us who live with limited outside space. From the ideas of an early eighteenth century visionary to an escape from the stress of the modern day, Julia shows how gardens can enhance well-being.
Continuing her stroll through the alphabet, Julia Grigg reaches B and finds exotic trees and shrubs, an inspirational aunt and a music-loving ship owner and coal merchant
NEW FOR 2021! This year the website will be hosting a fortnightly blog. JULIA GRIGG'S MORRAB MISCELLANY will showcase writing on all things gardening.
It will go through the year from A-Z.
'Come take a stroll with me through the alphabet,' invites Julia. Start with the 1st January entry to see what she's gathered together under the letter A.
