Description
During the first COVID-19 lockdown, Ciarán De Buitléar was unexpectedly handed the keys to a neglected Victorian walled garden in an Irish village. What began as a place to grow vegetables with his sons became a story of family, nature, community and belonging.
Nature’s Acre follows the transformation of that hidden garden and the people drawn into its life. It is a memoir about working with the land, creating space for wildlife, involving schools and neighbours, and discovering how responsibility for one small place can grow into something larger.
Hopeful, honest and rooted in lived experience, this is not a conventional gardening manual. It is the story of what can happen when an ordinary person stops waiting for somebody else to act and begins caring for the ground in front of him.
