‘Il Giardino della Scrittrice’ by Maggie Barrett @maggiebarrettsideas - Photos by Joel Meyerowitz @joel_meyerowitz ? ‘Gardeners, like writers, have two completely different ways of creating. One is to plot the whole thing out first, the other is to start with a single instinct and let the plot reveal itself organically. As both a writer and a gardener I am of the latter philosophy. And so it was that four years ago I entered into a creative collaboration with the punishing piece of land surrounding the renovated stone barn where we live on a sheep farm, deep in the Tuscan countryside.
I grew up on the south coast of England in a lower middle-class neighbourhood whose uniform houses were personalized by the variety of gardens that each boasted. Although our garden was relatively small my parents managed to create a series of ‘rooms’ in which I spent much of my childhood. In fact, I felt more at home in the garden that I did in the house. It was the place where I could express myself freely, unobserved by the strict gaze of my parents, while at the same time feeling safely contained from the outside world. This sense of freedom balanced by containment is something I have strived for in my adult life and has been the basis from which I create gardens, novels and essays.
When I embarked on this project I had no idea where I was going, although I was adamant about honoring the native landscape and therefore would not be creating an English garden. I spent days and weeks just staring at this barren patch until finally instinct told me to start with the entrance which, four years ago, was a wire gate through which one came upon two acres of gravel beneath which lay granite and clay. Apart from three oak trees behind the house, there was not a single green thing to be seen…not even a weed. How ironic, I thought, to have gone from creating a garden on a scrubby patch of sand at the edge of the sea on Cape Cod to this brutal, rocky terrain. Was I destined to import earth wherever I went?’ Keep reading the article by #MaggieBarrett in our new Casa Vogue Issue and today on vogue.it ???
