Summary
Details

In the heart of a bustling city, an oasis of calm and renewal awaits behind the ivy-draped walls of Sanctuary Greens. This verdant respite is the personal gardening memoir of Emma Blackwell, whose lifelong passion for horticulture blossomed into an unexpected vocation and place of healing.

Born to a family of wealthy socialites, Emma's childhood was one of privilege but also profound emptiness. It was the crackling woods and wild gardens surrounding her grandmother's English estate that provided the young Emma her first taste of nature's restorative powers and the joys of getting her hands dirty. As she grew older, cultivating life from soil became Emma's sanctuary from a world of societal expectations.

When a shattering personal trauma upends her reality in her late twenties, Emma turns her back on her upbringing and finds solace in the most unlikely of places - the forgotten gardens of a derelict church. With her intimate knowledge of plants and a heart bent on renewal, she gradually breathes new life into the historic gardens, helping transform it from crumbling disrepair into lush, vibrant sanctuary once more.

More than just a garden memoir, Sanctuary Greens is the story of a woman's journey to nurture her own spiritual and emotional regrowth through the gentle practices of gardening and communion with nature. As Emma pours herself into reviving the church gardens, she uncovers layers of history and wisdom woven through every tree, shrub, and planting bed, allowing her to grow in tandem with the reemerging flora.
