Continuing her exploration into the ideas that go into making a garden, Jinny speaks to the writer Olivia Laing. Oliva is the author of six books including To the River, The Trip to Echo Spring, and The Lonely City. Their first novel, Crudo, won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and they write on art and culture for The Guardian, Financial Times, and The New York Times. In 2020, Olivia began to restore a walled garden in Suffolk. The pair discuss process, how their respective backgrounds have influenced their work, and how gardening is a way of bringing order to the chaos of life.
