When Beth Lynch moved to Switzerland, she quickly realized that the sheer will to connect with people would not guarantee a happy relocation. Out of place and lonely, she sets about making herself at home in the way she knows best: by tending a garden. In the rugged hills of the Swiss Jura, she encounters glow worms and singing toads as she learns to garden in a new way, taking her cue from the natural world. As she recounts in this lyrical memoir, she develops surprising connections to her new soil, and through it, to her old life in England, and to her deceased parents, whose Sussex garden continues to flourish in her heart.
