IN A GREEN SHADE

A diary of back garden botany, urban ecology, rural rambles and field trips to the middle of nowhere...

The garden is looking lush with the rain we've had recently.

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".
