| Summary, etc |
"Leaving her garden to the mercy of the slugs, the Guardian's award-winning writer Alys Fowler set out in an inflatable kayak to explore Birmingham's canal network, full of little-used waterways where huge pike skulk and kingfishers dart. Her book is about noticing the wild everywhere and what it means to see beauty where you least expect it. What happens when someone who has learned to observe her external world in such detail decides to examine her internal world with the same care?"--Amazon.com. |

| Summary, etc |
British horticulturist Alys Fowler is the author of several books on edible gardening, foraging, and gardening in small spaces. At 37, she had been married for many years and was enjoying her home garden and her writing life. Still she felt a need to strike out in a new direction, and decided to get a portable, inflatable boat and explore Birmingham’s network of canals. Hidden Nature: A Voyage of Discovery documents those travels (full of vivid description of the wild amidst the largely industrial landscape) but also an interior journey in which she senses “that I was someone else inside, and that someone was completely at odds with my life.” The solitude of her boat travels affords her the freedom to recognize that she is a lesbian. “This journey on the water was about finding an external correlation to my inner world. I needed a transmutable world, a fluid space that would allow me to make my own changes.” At the time of the book’s publication, Alys Fowler was in a relationship with garden designer Charlotte Harris (winner of a Chelsea Flower Show gold award in 2017).
