Set against the dramatic landscape of Orkney, this beautifully written memoir follows Victoria as she begins a new chapter of life, leaving behind the familiar to create a home in Scotland’s northern islands. As she transforms a simple backyard into a thriving apothecary garden by the sea, she finds comfort, purpose, and a deeper connection to the wild natural world around her.

Inspired by folklore, seaweed, wild plants, and the changing seasons, this reflective and nature-rich book explores gardening, healing, and belonging. Perfect for readers who love memoir, garden writing, and stories of personal renewal, it is a moving celebration of starting again and putting down roots in an unfamiliar place.
