AN OASIS OF GARDEN WRITING


This archive of garden writing features work by Janet Queen.

Janet is a former student of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. She has over twenty years of practical gardening experience and has worked as a freelance copywriter and horticultural writer for ten years.

Precision with botanical description and nomenclature is balanced with references to historical details including folklore, legend and medicinal uses of plants.

Through this collection of words and images, we hope to express our tribute to Arcadia.

 
 

'Diary of a Bishop's Garden'

Published in 2009, 'Diary of a Bishop's Garden' is Janet's first book. It is a description of one year in the life of the garden at Rose Castle, the official Cumbrian residence of the Bishop of Carlisle for 800 years. The book also contains plant lists and detailed information about the garden's history.
