Mansfield would approve

She would approve of our project and of the women undertaking it
Except for me, each member of the gardening team is a writer. Bethney and Bee are regularly in print. Bethney writes a weekly garden article for the Saturday Dominion Post. Bee is a social historian and is the author of various books, including Lady Painters, a beautiful book about botanical women artists. Penny has had a long career in journalism and Rachael is a lawyer and garden designer.
All of us have a passion and love for plants and Mansfield herself would love to have been a gardener.
“I think I shall become a very violent gardener. I shall have shelves of tomes and walk about the house whispering the names of flowers”
