Research

My PhD project explores the role of memory and historical imaginations in gardening – how gardeners narrate and use different pasts, heritages and stories in their gardens, and how these are negotiated in the face of climate change and environmental degradation. To inquire this I conduct qualitative interviews with amateur gardeners and text analysis of non-fictional garden literature.
