Olivia Laing: In Search of Eden image
Synopsis:

When Olivia Laing began to restore a walled garden in Suffolk, she also embarked upon an imaginative discovery of the pleasures and possibilities of gardens through the ages. The Garden Against Time explores their significance in Western culture, from Milton’s Paradise Lost to Derek Jarman’s Prospect Cottage. Hear leading critic and writer Laing (author of The Lonely City and Funny Weather) talking with J C Niala.
