The book is a portrait of a community working in the Archbishops' walled garden in Bishopthorpe near York. It's been developed and managed by Brunswick Organic Nursery CIC, a place that provides adults with learning disabilities a meaningful, work-like environment.
The project was a collaboration with Brunswick, empowering those pictured to be seen on their own terms, separate from from the societal label that's placed upon them. The walled garden is a place which offers people agency and autonomy.
There are multiple traces of historical, natural and social layers to be discovered here: the long history of the garden; the vignettes of many different lives that exist within this protected space, from plants to insects to the workers themselves; and the passing of time, its seasonal cycle of growth and renewal.
Gardens have a particular psychological effect, creating a place of sanctuary and growth in which individuals can find and uncover their values. At Brunswick, people can thrive, be validated and be seen on their own terms.
See more of the project here: Right Here, Right Now. It’s Historical, Big, Huge and Beautiful.
