In a small South London garden, Jenny began to imagine another way of living: porous, unruly, rooted in the lessons of soil and plant life. Gardens, like identities, are usually bounded - but what if those limits can be re-drawn?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlending memoir and cultural criticism, this book asks whether the categories we inherit - colonial, patriarchal, conventions of sexuality and gender - still serve us, or whether they confine us. From illness and recovery to queer love and ecological wonder, Q is for Garden invites readers to reimagine how we inhabit land, culture and each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn eloquent work of nature writing and queer thought, Q is for Garden digs into the rich history of queer gardeners, botanists, artists and agriculturalists. It offers a hopeful vision of belonging, if we are curious enough to unearth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardback \/ 358 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookish Type","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58345431564669,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/0891\/0933\/files\/qisforgarden.jpg?v=1783087827","url":"https:\/\/thebookishtype.co.uk\/products\/q-is-for-garden-tending-the-histories-of-queer-cultivation-by-jenny-chamarette","provider":"The Bookish Type","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
