Alice Crane
The Last Lawn in Somerset
As lockdown became enforced so my body went into lockdown and my small garden, half in Somerset and half in Devon, became my whole world.
The Devon side is untamed and unruly, docks and hogweed reign; the Somerset side feels like ‘The last lawn in Somerset’, butted up against its border stream, isolated, an island of turf; susceptible to drought and flood, to human interventions and the gardeners’ prejudices of what lives or is lost.
Under the influence of Robert McFarlane’s ‘The Wild Places’ I made my daily
pilgrimages, circling this confined space, observing, close-up, the small worlds of
wilderness that are constant, quiet and fragile.
