About Me

Rupert Hughes
Childhood days in the garden and the countryside were tempered with the realisation as I grew older of the damage being done to the environment. In a geography lesson I encountered the concept of ecosystems; at much the same time I came across a book about the Gaia hypothesis- both address the interconnectedness of all things. Indeed, this is something that has been known across human history expressed by different names. When I was a child I saw the outdoors as a place to do stuff and make things. That's probably why I've been a gardener throughout my life; sometimes for a living, sometimes for its own sake. Hopefully -by keeping a diary- words and pictures can be part of that. The title of the diary comes from a line in The Garden by Andrew Marvell, published in 1681: "To a green Thought in a green Shade".
